PURPORT

This verse is from the Damodarastaka in the Padma Purana.

Attachment for Krsna in santa-rasa, rendering service to the Lord in dasya-rasa, rendering relaxed service in fraternity, and serving in parental love with feelings of maintenance all combine on the platform of conjugal love when the devotee wants to serve the Lord by offering Him his personal body.

Thus the qualities of the other rasas combine to form the nectar of conjugal love.

On this platform, all the different feelings of a devotee are amalgamated.
