yata bhakti-vikāra—sabei murtimanta sabei īśvara-kalāmahājñānavanta || 215 ||
yata bhakti-vikara—sabei murtimanta sabei isvara-kalamahajnanavanta (215)
English translation:
(215) All the ecstatic symptoms of devotional service manifested in their personified forms. They were all fully cognizant portions of the Lord’s plenary portions.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The various characteristics of devotional service assumed their respective, fully cognizant forms and began to expand the Lord’s service. In the material world the word vikāra indicates a state of distaste or abomination, but in reference to the devotional service of the Lord the
vikāras of devotional service are not disrespectable. The concept of nondevotional vikāras, or the concept of vivarta, is condemnable according to Vedānta. The vikāras of devotional service are most wonderful and transcendental.
