māyā-dāsī ‘prema’ māge, — ithe ki vismaya?
‘sādhu-kṛpā’-‘nāma’ vinā ‘prema’ nā janmaya
māyā-dāsī — the external energy is a maidservant; prema māge — she wants love of Godhead; ithe — in this; ki vismaya — what is the wonder; sādhu-kṛpā — the mercy of the devotee; nāma — chanting of the holy name; vinā — without; prema — love of Godhead; nā janmaya — is not possible.
What is the wonder if the maidservant of Kṛṣṇa, His external energy, begs for love of Godhead? Without the mercy of a devotee and without the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, love of Godhead cannot be possible.
