Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 12


Sanskrit:

यत्पादपांसुर्बहुजन्मकृच्छ्रतोधृतात्मभिर्योगिभिरप्यलभ्य: ।स एव यद् दृग्विषय: स्वयं स्थित:किं वर्ण्यते दिष्टमतो व्रजौकसाम् ॥ १२ ॥

ITRANS:

yat-pāda-pāṁsur bahu-janma-kṛcchratodhṛtātmabhir yogibhir apy alabhyaḥsa eva yad-dṛg-viṣayaḥ svayaṁ sthitaḥkiṁ varṇyate diṣṭam ato vrajaukasām

Translation:

Yogīs may undergo severe austerities and penances for many births by practicing yama, niyama, āsana and prāṇāyāma, none of which are easily performed. Yet in due course of time, when these yogīs attain the perfection of controlling the mind, they will still be unable to taste even a particle of dust from the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. What then can we describe about the great fortune of the inhabitants of Vrajabhūmi, Vṛndāvana, with whom the Supreme Personality of Godhead personally lived and who saw the Lord face to face?

Purport:

We can simply imagine the great fortune of the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana. It is impossible to describe how, after many, many births of pious activities, they have become so fortunate.
