"Neither Lord Brahma, nor Lord Siva, nor even the goddess of fortune, who is

always the better half of the Supreme Lord, can obtain from the Supreme

Personality of Godhead, the deliverer from this material world, such mercy as

was received by mother Yasoda."

How greatly fortunate are Nanda Maharaja, the cowherd men and all the

other inhabitants of Vrajabhumi! There is no limit to their good fortune,

because the Absolute Truth, the source of transcendental bliss, the

eternal Supreme Brahman, has become their friend.
