vaisnavera—of the Vaisnava; nindya-karma—reproachable activities; nahi pade kane—he does not hear; sabe—all; krsna bhajana kare—are engaged in Krsna’s service; ei-matra—only this; jane—he understands.

He would not listen to blasphemy of a Vaisnava, nor would he listen to talk of a Vaisnava’s misbehavior.

He knew only that everyone was engaged in Krsna’s service; he did not understand anything else.

PURPORT

Raghunatha Bhatta never did anything harmful to a Vaisnava.

In other words, he was never inattentive in the service of the Lord, nor did he ever violate the rules and regulations of a pure Vaisnava.

It is the duty of a Vaisnava acarya to prevent his disciples and followers from violating the principles of Vaisnava behavior.

He should always advise them to strictly follow the regulative principles, which will protect them from falling down.

Although a Vaisnava preacher may sometimes criticize others, Raghunatha Bhatta avoided this.

Even if another Vaisnava was actually at fault, Raghunatha Bhatta would not criticize him; he saw only that everyone was engaged in Krsna’s service.

That is the position of a maha-bhagavata.

Actually, even if one is serving maya, in a higher sense he is also a servant of Krsna.

Because maya is the servant of Krsna, anyone serving maya serves Krsna indirectly.

Therefore it is said:

keha mane, keha na mane, saba tanra dasa

ye na mane, tara haya sei pape nasa “Some accept Him, whereas others do not, yet everyone is His servant.
