TRANSLATION
Sri Varuna said: Now my body has fulfilled its function. Indeed, now the goal of my life is achieved, O Lord. Those who accept Your lotus feet, O Personality of Godhead, can transcend the path of material existence.
PURPORT
Varuna ecstatically exclaims here that since he has now seen the infinitely gorgeous body of Lord Krsna, the trouble of assuming a material body has now been supremely justified. Indeed, the artha, the goal or real value of Varuna's life, has now been achieved. Because Lord Krsna's form is transcendental, those who accept His lotus feet go beyond the boundary of material existence, and thus only the spiritually unaware would presume that the Lord's lotus feet are material.
