The purport is that the personal associates of Lord Viṣṇu in Vaikuṇṭhaloka are always liberated souls. Even if sometimes cursed or blessed, they are always liberated and never contaminated by the material modes of nature. Before their liberation to Vaikuṇṭhaloka they possessed material bodies, but once they come to Vaikuṇṭha they no longer have them.

<div class="quote_translation">
Although these four great sages were older than Brahmā's other sons like Marīci, they appeared like small naked children only five or six years old. When Jaya and Vijaya saw them trying to enter Vaikuṇṭhaloka, these two gatekeepers, thinking them ordinary children, forbade them to enter.

In this regard, Śrīla Madhvācārya says in his Tantra-sāra:

<div class="quote_verse">
:dvāḥ-sthāv ity anenādhikāra-sthatvam uktam

:adhikāra-sthitāś caiva
:vimuktāś ca dvidhā janāḥ
:viṣṇu-loka-sthitās teṣāṁ 
:vara-śāpādi-yoginaḥ
</div>

:adhikāra-sthitāṁ muktiṁ

<div class="quote_verse">
:niyataṁ prāpnuvanti ca
:vimukty-anantaraṁ teṣāṁ 
:vara-śāpādayo nanu

:dehendriyāsu-yuktaś ca

<div class="quote_verse">
:pūrvaṁ paścān na tair yutāḥ
:apy abhimānibhis teṣāṁ 
:devaiḥ svātmottamair yutāḥ
</div>

The purport is that the personal associates of Lord Viṣṇu in Vaikuṇṭhaloka are always liberated souls. Even if sometimes cursed or blessed, they are always liberated and never contaminated by the material modes of nature. Before their liberation to Vaikuṇṭhaloka they possessed material bodies, but once they come to Vaikuṇṭha they no longer have them. Therefore even if the associates of Lord Viṣṇu sometimes descend as if cursed, they are always liberated.
