TRANSLATION

To hear about the pastimes that Krsna regularly performs is nectar for the

ears. For those who relish just a single drop of that nectar, even once, their

dedication to material duality is ruined. Many such persons have suddenly given

 

up their wretched homes and families and, themselves becoming wretched,

traveled here to Våndävana to wander about like birds, begging for their

living.
