Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.4.152:

ये चैकतर-रूपस्य प्रीति-निष्ठा भवन्ति न ।
अविशेष-ग्रहास् तस्य यत्-किञ्चिद् -रूप-सेवकाः ॥ १५२ ॥

ye caikatara-rūpasya prīti-niṣṭhā bhavanti na |
aviśeṣa-grahās tasya yat-kiñcid -rūpa-sevakāḥ || 152 ||

ye–who; ca–also; ekatara-rūpasya–of one form as superior; prīti–in love; niṣṭhāḥ–firm attachment; bhavanti–they become; na–not; aviśeṣa-grahāḥ–non-specialist acceptors; tasya–of Him; yat-kiñcitrūpa–of any form; sevakāḥ–the servants.

Those devotees who are unable to accept the specialty of any one specific form of Bhagavān become servants of any form of Bhagavān. They are not exclusively dedicated to Him in one form, but rather feel the same affection for all His manifestations.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra might raise the doubt, “Almost all devotees show firm devotion towards their respective worshipable Deities, but do all of them achieve the same abode of Vaikuṇṭha?” In reply, Śrī Nārada speaks the two verses, beginning here with ye. He says, “Vaikuṇṭha contains innumerable regions (prakoṣṭhas). Śrī Bhagavān resides in each of these special regions, where He manifests His pastimes, associates, and so on that are suitable for the innumerable varieties of moods of the uncountable numbers of devotees.

“Some devotees, however, do not have one-pointed affection for a particular manifestation of Bhagavān. Rather, they feel loving attachment to all of His forms. They believe that Śrī Bhagavān has unlimited incarnations and unlimited forms, and that one can obtain Him by worshiping any one of these. Having affection for all of the Lord’s manifestations without special preference, they submit to any of Śrī Bhagavān’s forms. Others serve one, two, or more particular manifestations.”
