Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.3.134:

निर्गुणे सच्-चिद्-आनन्दात्मनि कृष्ण-प्रसादतः ।
स्फुरन्ती विलसत्य् आत्म-भक्तानां बहुधा मुदे ॥ १३४ ॥

nirguṇe sac-cid-ānandātmani kṛṣṇa-prasādataḥ |
sphurantī vilasaty ātma-bhaktānāṃ bahudhā mude || 134 ||

nirguṇe–beyond the modes of nature; sat-cit-ānanda–eternal and full of knowledge and bliss; ātmani–in the personality (of bhakti); kṛṣṇa-prasādataḥ–by the mercy of Śrī Kṛṣṇa; sphurantī–manifests; vilasati–shines; ātma-bhaktānām–for the devotees of the Lord; bahudhā–in numerous ways; mude–in happiness.

That bhakti is singular in nature, but by the mercy of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, it manifests in numerous forms such as śravaṇa (hearing and kīrtana (singing) for the pleasure of the confidential devotees who are transcendental to the modes of nature.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Now Śrī Gopa-kumāra might question, “If that devotional service is transcendental to material qualities, how can the conditioned soul approach it?”

In reply, the Vaikuṇṭha associates speak this verse beginning with nirguṇa. They say, “That nirguṇa-bhakti, or devotion devoid of material qualities, which is by nature full of eternity, knowledge, and bliss (sac-cid-ānanda), manifests by the mercy of Śrī Kṛṣṇa in the heart. That is, it manifests in pure spirit souls and it sports within them in the form of hearing, chanting, and so on. Although this bhakti is one in nature, or eka-rūpa, nevertheless it manifests in many forms (such as śravaṇa, kīrtana, etc.) because Bhagavān wants to increase the wonderful bliss of His confidential servitors.”
