Translation
They attained the spiritual sky which is dominated by the Supreme Narayana Lord Krishna by pure consciousness due to constant remembrance in deveotion. This is attained by them only who are fixed up in one supreme Lord without deviation. Such abode of the Lord Sri Krishna, known as Goloka Vrindaban, is not attainable by persons who are absorbed in material conception of life but the Pandavas being completely washed off from all material contaminaion attained the place in the very self-same body.
Purport
In the Bhagwat Geeta the Lord says (B.G. 7/28) that only those who have had done pious deeds in previous life and thus have become freed from the results of all impious acts can only concentrate upon the Lotus feet of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna. The Pandavas not only in this life but also in their previous life, they had always performed the supreme pious work and as such they are ever-free from all the reactions of impious work. It is quite reasonable, therefore, that they concentrated their mind unto the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna According to Sri Viswanath Chaktavarty Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha principles are accepted by persons who are not free from the results of impious action. Such persons affected with the contaminations of the above four principles cannot at once accept the lotus feet of the Lord of the spiritual sky. Vaikuntha world is situated far beyond the material sky. The material sky is under the management of Durga Devi or material energy of the Lord but the Vaikuntha world is managed by the Personal energy of the Lord. The cover-jacket of this book is an explanation of the Vaikuntha world and the material world.
According to Srila Jiva Coswami a person freed from the three modes of material qualities namely goodness, passion and ignorance and situated in transcendence can reach the highest perfection of life without any change of the body. Srila Sanatan Coswami also in his Haribhaktivilas says that person whatever he may be, can attain the perfection of a twice-born Brahmin by undergoing the spiritual desciplinary actions under the guidance of a bonafide spiritual master exactly like a chemist who can turn gunmetal into gold by chemical manupulation. It is therefore, the actual guidance that matters in the proceass of becoming a Brahmin even without any change of body or to go back to home Godnead without any change of body. Srila Jiva Goswami remarks that the word 'His' used in this connection positively affirms this truth and there is no doubt about this factual position. The Bhagwat Geeta also affirms this statement of Srila Jiva Goswami when the Lord says (B.G. 14/26) that any one, who executes the devotional service systematically without any deviation can attain the perfection of Brahman by surpassing the contamination of the three modes of meterial nature and when the Brahman-perfection is still more advanced by the self-same execution of dovotional service, there is no doubt at all that one can attain the Supreme spiritual planet Goloka Vrindaban without any change of body as we have already discussed in the matter of the Lord, returning in His abode without any change of body (page 931)
