Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁玨膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da
(By 艢r墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
Therefore, what to speak of a less intelligent monkey like me in this matter? In other words, simply by seeing those pastimes I would become bewildered. If you say that learned sages devoted to the practice of 箩帽腻苍补 become bewildered, and our appointed 补诲丑颈办腻谤补 叠谤补丑尘腻 also becomes bewildered, then what is the likelihood of devotees becoming deluded by the 濒墨濒腻蝉 of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍? With this apprehension, he says that topmost exalted devotees such as you, 艢r墨 狈腻谤补诲补, also are deluded by His mystifying 濒墨濒补蝉. Therefore, you are well aware of the deluding potency of those 濒墨濒补蝉. For this reason, you began wandering from each palace of every queen in 顿惫腻谤补办腻.
