ananta koti vaisnava-VRNDA / samaveta bhakta-VRNDA

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

Please accept my obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

If I am not mishearing Srila Prabhupada is praying in prema-dhvani:

 

ananta koti vaisnava (no VRNDA) ki jaya.

 

What does mean VRNDA (assembled?) and what is the difference between:

 

ananta koti vaisnava-vrnda-ki jaya

All glories to the unlimited millions of Vaiñëavas

 

samaveta bhakta-vrnda-ki jaya

All glories to the assembled devotees?

Thank you Prabhus!
