English translation:

(105) “By drinking the breast milk that had been drunk by the Lord, they immediately attained transcendental knowledge.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Although the sons of Brahmā were deprived of drinking Devakīs breast milk before the advent of Kṛṣṇa, now, as a result of drinking the breast milk that Kṛṣṇa had drunk, they attained transcendental knowledge. They then immediately surrendered to the Supreme Lord. The degradation that they achieved because of ridiculing a Vaiṣṇava guru was destroyed by drinking the Lord’s remnants. If one who sees a superficial display of sinful activities does not understand their meaning, one commits an offense at the feet of the Lord’s devotees. And if one understands the inauspicious consequences of seeing superficially, his qualification for committing such offenses will be destroyed and he will attain the qualification to serve Vaiṣṇavas.
