Verse Text

atha śri-kṛṣṇa-tad-bhakta-prasādajaḥ—- sādhanena vinā yas tu sahasaivābhijāyate | sa bhāvaḥ kṛṣṇa-tad-bhakta-prasādaja itīyate ||15||

Translation

Now, bhāva arising from the mercy of Kṛṣṇa or His devotee is defined: That bhāva which appears suddenly without performance of sādhana is known as bhāva produced from the mercy of Kṛṣṇa or His devotee.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

Sometimes, however, it is found that without undergoing any devotional process, one all of a sudden develops devotion for Lord Kṛṣṇa. This sudden development of the devotional attitude in a person must be understood as a special mercy of Kṛṣṇa or of His devotee.
