Verse Text

tatra tṛpter, yathā – viprāṇāṁ nas tathā tṛptir āsīd govardhanotsave | nāśīrvāde ’pi gopendra yathā syāt prabhaviṣṇutā ||105||

Translation

ālasya arising from satiation: O king of the cowherds! At the festival of Govardhana we have become so satisfied that we cannot even give blessings.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

For example, when some brāhmaṇas were requested by Nanda Mahārāja to circumambulate Govardhana Hill, they told him that they were more interested in offering benedictions than in circumambulating Govardhana Hill. This is an instance of laziness caused by self-satisfaction.
