साम्राज्यात् पारमेष्ठ्याच्च वैकुण्ठात्परमुत्तमम् |
इदं बृन्दावनं ज्ञेयं यत्र कृष्णोsनुभूयते ||
वैकुण्ठःस्वगृहं तस्य कर्मशीला पयोनिधिः |
लीलास्थलं श्रीवनं तु ब्रह्मणः परमात्मनः ||
हरेर्निङ्कुशप्रेमस्वातन्त्र्यरसचेष्टितम् |
अत्रैव दृश्यते नूनं पवित्रे यमुनावने ||
अन्यत्र परमात्मा तु लौकिकैर्वैदिकैर्जनैः |
परिभूतःस्वार्थपरैःस्वच्छन्दं नैव शोभते ||
अत्र प्रेमरसः शुद्धो वर्तते व्रजवासिनाम् |
निखिलं चेष्टितञ्चैषाम् कृष्णसौख्याय केवलम् ||
तस्मान्मा गच्छ शुद्धात्मन् सन्त्यज्य यमुनावनम् |
अन्यत्र दुर्लभं तच्च पूर्णं ब्रह्म सनातनम् ||
This Shri Brindavan is superior to the Brahma-patta, samrajya and even Shri Vaikuntha. Shri Vaikuntha is the home of the Supreme Soul. Ksheerabdhi (the ocean of milk) is His work spot. Shri Brindavan is the place of His recreation and leela and hence His divine play-ground. Only in this serene Brindavan the unfettered divine pastimes of Shri Krishna are exhibited. Only here, pure prem bound by no controls is given pride of place and utmost importance. In other places the Supreme Soul is not given due respect by the worldly selfish people and vaidikas. Hence He is not freely manifesting His grandeur. But those who reside in Shri Brindavan are filled with the nectar of flawless loving devotion. The residents of the Gokula carry on all their duties only for the pleasure of Shri Krishna. Hence, Oh, pious one! You need not go anywhere leaving this Brindavan. It is impossible to find the presence of the eternal and perfect Supreme Being anywhere else.
