na cānyatra kṣetre hari-tanu-sanāthe’pi sujanād, rasāsvādaṁ premnā dadhad api vasāmi kṣaṇam api
samaṁ tv etad grāmyāvalibhir abhitanvann api kathāṁ, vidhāsye saṁvāsaṁ vraja-bhuvana eva pratibhavam
- Shri Raghunath Das Goswami - Swa Niyam Dashkam (02)
I will not live in any other holy place for even a moment, even if it is governed by Krishna's living presence, even if I can lovingly relish transcendental topics of Hari there with great devotees that brings the taste of ‘rasa’. In fact, I would rather live birth after birth in Braj, even if I pass my time speaking nonsense with the ordinary villagers.
