loves the Lord. He serves the Lord. He is the best of transcendentalists."
This verse clearly describes the devotees' love for the Lord. The word "ratiḥ"
here means "love". The words "bhāva", "rati", "prema" all mean "love". A
pariṇiṣṭhita devotee who has fallen in love with the Supreme Lord has not the time

general he may sometimes perform them to a certain extent. In this way it is seen
that transcendental knowledge is independent of Vedic rituals.

pāriplava—restlessness; arthāḥ—meanings; iti—thus; cet—if; na—not;
viśeṣitatvāt—because of being specific.
If it is said that they are pāriplava stories, then I reply no, for those are specific.
