English translation

“Rati, which is the very form of ānanda, appears in the hearts of devotees who have been purified of all faults by bhakti, whose hearts have become joyful (hlādinī), and bright (samvit), who have developed great relish for the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and for the association of others who have taste for

Kṛṣṇa, whose life and soul become the profound happiness of devotion at the feet of Govinda, and who have become absorbed in actions such as kīrtana, imbued with the Lord’s mercy. This rati, strengthened by past- and present- life impressions of bhakti, then attains a state of relish by realizing vibhāva, anubhāva, sāttvika-bhāva and vyabhicārī-bhāva in relation to Kṛṣṇa, and finally attains the highest, astonishing peak of profound bliss.”
