TRANSLATION

1) Devotional service is causeless and self-manifesting, but the Eternally Perfect Substance is always covered over.

2) The madhyama-adhikari (medium class devotee), being compassionate, gives mercy to the non-Vaisnavas by awakening devotion in them.

3) The Supreme Lord is bound by the Vaisanva. By the mercy of the Vaisnavas, the bewildered can be awakened.

4) The Vaisnava can awaken the dormat planet. With their mercy, a sinner can become a devotee.
