सहजे विरक्त सबे श्री-कृष्णेर रसे कृष्ण-व्याख्या विनु आर किछु नाहि वासे ॥ ३३ ॥
sahaje virakta sabe śrī-kṛṣṇera rase kṛṣṇa-vyākhyā vinu āra kichu nāhi vāse || 33 ||
sahaje virakta sabe sri-krsnera rase krsna-vyakhya vinu ara kichu nahi vase (33)
English translation:
(33) The devotees were naturally detached due to their advancement in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They did not care to hear anything other than topics related with Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The rasika devotees of Adhokṣaja Kṛṣṇa are naturally detached from all objects not related with Kṛṣṇa. Their resolute love was displayed by their seeing everything in relationship with Kṛṣṇa. Because they realized the necessity of having a taste for Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they considered the taste for inferior objects to be useless.
