Verse Text
vraja-sthānāṁ paraiśvarya-jṣāna-śūnya-dhiyām api |
asty eva vallavādhīśa-putratvaiśvarya-vedanam ||155||
Translation
Though awareness of Kṛṣṇa as the Lord is absent in the servants in Vraja, they are aware that He has powers, since He is the son of the cowherd leader.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
They are aware (vedanam) of powers, such as conquering Indra (aiśvarya), because He is the son of the leader of the cowherd men (vallavādhiśa-putratva).
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
There are two kinds of devotees engaged in devotional service with awe and veneration—the Lord’s subordinates and His sons. The servitors in the abode of Dvārakā always worship Kṛṣṇa as the most respectable and revered Personality of Godhead. They are captivated by Kṛṣṇa because of His superexcellent opulences. The members who always thought themselves protected by Kṛṣṇa could readily convert their conviction into practical demonstration, because it was sometimes found that the sons of Kṛṣṇa acted very unlawfully in various places but were nonetheless given full protection by Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma.
