Actually this point was made very emphatically by Srila

Prabhupada in a lecture in India.

While I agree that we should follow Srila Prabhupada's translation (since it

is actually a more thorough explanation), I wouldn't be so quick to fault the

other. "guhA" literally means a cave, and more generally refers to any hiding

place. "heart of an unadulterated self-realized person" is definitely a

non-literal translation, though it's practically needed to make the

explanation sensible.
