Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda


TRANSLATION

You, Dāruka, should be firmly situated in devotion to Me, remaining fixed in spiritual knowledge and unattached to material considerations. Understanding these pastimes to be a display of My illusory potency, you should remain peaceful.


PURPORT

According to Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, the word tu here emphasizes that Dāruka is an eternally liberated associate of Lord Kṛṣṇa, having descended from Vaikuṇṭha. Therefore, even though others might be bewildered by the Lord's pastimes, Dāruka should remain peaceful and fixed in spiritual knowledge.
