Verse 2.3.135

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.3.135:

विशुद्धे तु विवेकेन सत्य् आत्मनि हरेः पदम् ।
गतेऽप्य् अप्रकृतं भक्ति-विधयो विलसन्ति हि ॥ १३५ ॥

viśuddhe tu vivekena saty ātmani hareḥ padam |
gate'py aprakṛtaṃ bhakti-vidhayo vilasanti hi || 135 ||

viśuddhe–completely pure; tu–but; vivekena–through discrimination; sati–becoming; ātmani–the heart; hareḥ–of Śrī Hari; padam–to the abode; gate–gone; api–although; aprākṛtam–not material; bhakti–of devotional service; vidhayaḥ–processes; vilasanti–shine; hi–certainly.

When the practitioner’s heart is completely cleansed by pure discrimination, the nine processes of bhakti sport within that completely purified soul. Only then does he obtain the abode of Śrī Hari (Vaikuṇṭha-loka).

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Having explained the general characteristics of bhakti in this verse beginning with viśuddha, the Vaikuṇṭha associates dialectically establish its transcendental nature by direct (anvaya) and indirect (vyatireka) deliberation. The word viśuddhaviveka, meaning ‘pure intelligence,’ indicates that the living being becomes free from false ego by realizing the idea stated in Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā (5.9): “indriyāṇīndriyārtheṣu vartanta iti dhārayan–The living being actually does not do anything; rather it is his senses that interact with their respective sense objects.” Then, freed from false ego, he no longer has to suffer the reactions of his past deeds. When with unalloyed intelligence the living being frees himself from identifying with the body, senses and so on, he becomes qualified to enter Śrī Vaikuṇṭha, Lord Hari’s transcendental abode. At that time, bhakti, in all of her varieties, sports in the heart of that jīva.
