4.44

tatastha ha-iya mane vicara yadi kari

saba rasa haite srngare adhika madhuri

SYNONYMS

tata-stha ha-iya—becoming impartial; mane—in the mind; vicara—consideration; yadi—if; kari—doing; saba rasa—all the mellows; haite—than; srngare—in conjugal love; adhika—greater; madhuri—sweetness.

But if we compare the sentiments in an impartial mood, we find that the conjugal sentiment is superior to all in sweetness.

PURPORT

No one is higher or lower than anyone else in transcendental relationships with the Lord, for in the absolute realm everything is equal.

But although these relationships are absolute, there are also transcendental differences between them.

Thus the transcendental relationship of conjugal love is considered the highest perfection.
