(31) The gopis with their lusty desires, Kamsa out of fear, S'is'upâla and others out of hatred, many Kings out of kinship, Krishna's family out of affection and you and us through bhakti did so o King. (32) Anyone but Vena would adopt one of these five in regard to the Original Person and therefore should one by any means fix ones mind on Krishna.

hâsyam vîro dayâ tathâ
bhayânakas'ca bîbhatsah
s'ântah sa-prema-bhaktikah
"(There are ten different moods:) fury (perceived by the wrestlers), wonder (by the men), conjugal attraction (the women), laughter (the cowherds), chivalry (the kings), mercy (His parents), terror (Kamsa), loathing (the unintelligent), peaceful neutrality (the yogîs) and loving devotion (the Vrishnis)."
