Translation
My dear Prahlāda, may you live a long time. One cannot appreciate or understand Me without pleasing Me, but one who has seen or pleased Me has nothing more for which to lament for his own satisfaction.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
My dear Prahlāda, may you live long! After seeing me, which is rare for those who do not please me, a person will not suffer again from unfulfilled desires.
Aprīṇataḥ means be aprīṇayatah (who do not please me). One who sees me will not lament for unfulfilled desires.
Purport
One cannot be happy under any circumstances unless one pleases the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but one who has learned how to please the Supreme Lord need no longer lament for his material condition.
