asura-svabhāve kṛṣṇe kabhu nāhi jāne

lukāite nāre kṛṣṇa bhakta-jana-sthāne

SYNONYMS

asura-svabhāve — those whose nature is demoniac; kṛṣṇe — Lord Kṛṣṇa; kabhu — at any time; nāhi — not; jāne — know; lukāite — to hide; nāre — is not able; kṛṣṇa — Lord Kṛṣṇa; bhakta-jana — of pure devotees; sthāne — in a place.

TRANSLATION

Those whose nature is demoniac cannot know Kṛṣṇa at any time, but He cannot hide Himself from His pure devotees.

PURPORT

People who develop the nature of asuras like Rāvaṇa and Hiraṇyakaśipu can never know Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead, by challenging the authority of Godhead. But Śrī Kṛṣṇa cannot hide Himself from His pure devotees.
