[99] Pūrṇamāsī said: "From this the following is understood. That majesty named Goloka is always an outgrowth of Vṛndāvana. But, just like the inhabitants of Vraja, you do not understand it at present; just as the earth's ignorance of it is also derived from the statement of the Varāha Purāṇa. And this very eternal abode was shown to them by him, and that alone was described as their eternal destination. According to the maxim, 'If one finds honey on the arka bush, why go to the mountain?', their going far away would indeed be futile."
