Verse Text
śuceḥ sambandha-gandho ’pi kathaṣcid yadi vatsale |
kvacid bhavet tataḥ suṣṭhu vairasyāyaiva kalpate ||60||
Translation
If vatsala-rasa somehow or other contacts even a particle of madhura-rasa (as in the previous example), it becomes most distasteful.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
The purpose of the above analysis is to show that in the mixture of various mellows, or reciprocations of ecstatic love between Kṛṣṇa and the devotees, if the result is not pure there will be incompatibility. According to the opinion of stalwart devotees like Rūpa Gosvāmī, as soon as there are contradictory feelings, the result is incompatible.
