vaasudeve - to Lord Vaasudeva, Krishna; bhagavati - the Supreme Personality

of Godhead; bhaktim - love and faith in devotional service; udvahataam - for

those who are carrying; nR^iNaam - men; j~naana-viaraagya - of real

knowledge and detachment; viiryaaNaam - possessing the powerful strength;

na - not; hi - indeed; kashchit - anything; vyapaashrayaH - as interest or

shelter.

 

Persons engaged in devotional service to Lord Vaasudeva, Krishna, have

naturally perfect knowledge and detachment from this material world.

Therefore such devotees are not interested in the so-called happiness or

so-called distress of this world (bhaagavata puraaNa 6.17.31).
