Of this ocean of the nectar of the rasa of devotion to the Lord. Read the long word from the inside out. There is devotion to the Lord (bhagavad-bhakti). Its taste is a rasa, a devotional mood. That mood is like nectar (amṛta). And the whole of it is an ocean (payonidhi). This line only names the ocean; the next line tells what will be said of it.

rasa: in the older poetic tradition, the settled aesthetic "flavor" a work evokes in the audience; here it is the mood of devotion (bhakti) itself, treated as the nectar filling this ocean.
रस: प्राचीन काव्य-परम्परा में वह स्थायी आस्वाद्य भाव जो कृति श्रोता के हृदय में जगाती है; यहाँ वह रस स्वयं भगवद्-भक्ति ही है, जिसे इस समुद्र को भरने वाले अमृत के रूप में कहा गया है।
