Bound by Love

The Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya (14.29) describes the words of Nåsiàhadeva addressing His dear devotee Prahläda,

sadä mukto ‘pi baddho ‘smi bhaktena sneha rajjubhiù
ajito ‘pi jito ‘haà tair avaço ‘pi vaçé kåtäù

“Although I am supremely free and independent, I am in bondage, sadä mukto ‘pi baddho ‘smi bhaktena sneha rajjubhiù.” What is that bondage? That bondage is prema-bandhana, the bondage of love. “I become bound up with the rope of love of My devotee. I am bound by that love. Ajito ‘pi jito ‘haà tair avaço ‘pi vaçé kåtäù, although I am ajita, unconquerable, I am conquered by this love, bhaktair jitatvaà.” This is true love.
