Here, from the phrase "brought down by Kaṃsāri out of thirst for the excellence of rasa," their sport is eternally as His own beloveds, but at the very time of His descent the conventional conduct of being married to others is produced by divine illusion for the sake of the supreme excellence filled with rasa; therefore there is no fault, but on the contrary a supreme virtue—this is the purport. And here, the expression "brought down" does not proclaim that they are goddesses or ordinary forms of Lakṣmī, because that would contradict: "This grace was not upon the breast of Śrī, His absolute beloved, nor upon the celestial women endowed with the fragrance and luster of the lotus; whence for others?" [BhP 10.47.60]. By that very fact, as it sets aside the status of any other, their nature as His supreme Lakṣmī alone is indicated.
