- bhaktir mukunda-caraṇe
- na prāyeṇopajāyate

TRANSLATION
Demigods situated in the mode of goodness and great saints cleansed of the dirt of material enjoyment hardly ever render pure devotional service at the lotus feet of Mukunda. [Therefore how could Vṛtrāsura have become such a great devotee?]
