Translation
Dāsya with madhura-rasa: My mind desires to see that Lord, more affectionate than a million fathers, whose lotus feet are worshipped by devatās and sages, who is the lord of Lakṣmī, and whose body shines with the nail marks of beautiful women.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
Sometimes it is found in places like Vṛndāvana that a person with a slight devotional attitude of neutral love for Kṛṣṇa may immediately and artificially try to attain to the platform of conjugal love. But because of the incompatibility of neutrality and conjugal love, the person is found to fall from the standard of devotional service.
Incompatibility was expressed by a great devotee on the platform of neutrality when he sarcastically prayed, “I am very anxious to see Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is many millions of times more affectionate than the Pitās [forefathers] in the Pitṛloka and who is always worshiped by the great demigods and sages. I am a little surprised, however, that although Kṛṣṇa is the husband of the goddess of fortune, His body is often marked with the nail pricks of ordinary society girls!” Here is an example of incompatibility due to a mixture of neutrality and high conjugal love.
