Verse 1
"Uttama-bhakti, or unalloyed devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, involves the rendering of devotional service in a way that is favorable to the Lord. This devotional service should be free from any extraneous motive and devoid of fruitive karma, impersonal jñāna, and all other selfish desires."* After studying all the scriptures of edevotion, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī came to this conclusion.
Verse 2
Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities, paraphernalia, and pastimes of Lord Viṣṇu, remembering them, serving the lotus feet of the Lord, offering the Lord respectful worship with sixteen types of paraphernalia, offering prayers to the Lord, becoming his servant, considering the Lord one's best friend, and surrendering everything unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind, and words),* are the limbs of sāhana-bhakti (devotional service in practice). Staying in the company of devotees, the aspiring devotee (sāhaka) delights inthem.
Verse 3
By the power of sādhana-bhakti (devotional service in practice), one attains bhāva-bhakti (devotional service in ecstasy) and then prema-bhakti (devotional service in pure love of God). Then the soul worships Lord Kṛṣṇa with love. Then the soul dives into the nectar of devotion to Lord Kṛṣṇa. Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī teaches the truth of this nectar.
