<a id="line-1"></a>भगति एक ऐश्वर्य अरु, इक माधुर्य कहाय ।  
<a id="line-2"></a>पै नीरस ऐश्वर्य रस, ब्रज रसिकन न सुहाय ॥६९॥

Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - दो प्रकार का भक्ति रस होता है। १-ऐश्वर्य युक्त। २-माधुर्य रस युक्त।  
<a id="line-4"></a>किंतु ब्रजरस रसिकों को ऐश्वर्य युक्त भक्ति प्रिय नहीं है।

Source Roman transliteration

<a id="line-5"></a>Bhagaṭi ek aishvarya aru, ik mȧḍhurya kahȧya.  
<a id="line-6"></a>Pai niras aishvarya ras, Braj rasikan na suhȧya. [69]

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-7"></a>There are two kinds of Bliss of bhakti. One is the Almighty  
<a id="line-8"></a>Bliss (that relates to the Almighty forms of God like Maha Vishnu,  
<a id="line-9"></a>God Shiv, etc.)* and the other is pure Divine love Bliss. The  
<a id="line-10"></a>Almighty Bliss has no sweet loving leelas. Thus the rasik Saints  
<a id="line-11"></a>of Braj do not appreciate it.

<a id="line-12"></a>* All the forms of God are eternal and have their own Divine abode and  
<a id="line-13"></a>are all absolutely Blissful. However in Vaikunth, which is the abode of  
<a id="line-14"></a>the Almighty forms of God (Vishnu, Shiv, Durga etc.) the intimate  
<a id="line-15"></a>sweetness of loving relationship and the amazing charm of the loving  
<a id="line-16"></a>leelas is not revealed. It is fully revealed in the leelas of Braj, Golok and  
<a id="line-17"></a>Divine Vrindaban.
