Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - वास्तविक सेवक अपने स्वामी श्याम सुंदर की सेवा ही चाहता है।  
<a id="line-4"></a>वह सेवा भी सेव्य की रुचि में रुचि रखकर होनी चाहिये। एवं स्वामी के सुख  
<a id="line-5"></a>में ही सुख मानना चाहिये। अपने सुख की कामना विष है।

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-8"></a>A true devotee desires to serve his beloved Krishn according  
<a id="line-9"></a>to His likings. The devotee should serve selflessly and have no  
<a id="line-10"></a>personal desire except the happiness of his Divine Master. He  
<a id="line-11"></a>should feel happy in the happiness of his Divine beloved.  
<a id="line-12"></a>(Desiring for one’s own comfort and happiness is perilous.)
