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)
Due to a magnificent reverence, the word 产丑补驳补惫腻苍 is addressed to Arjuna in the present verse, or rather in the 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 (6.5.78):
啶夃い啷嵿お啶む啶むた啶� 啶啶班げ啶 啶氞啶� 啶啶むぞ啶ㄠぞ啶 啶呧啶むた啶� 啶椸い啶苦ぎ啷�
啶掂啶む啶むた 啶掂た啶︵啶ぞ啶 啶呧さ啶苦う啷嵿く啶距 啶� 啶掂ぞ啶氞啶 啶啶掂ぞ啶ㄠ 啶囙い啶�utpatti峁� pralaya峁� caiva bh奴t膩n膩m agati峁� gatim
vetti vidy膩m avidy膩峁� sa v膩cyo 产丑补驳补惫腻苍 itiThe word 产丑补驳补惫腻苍 is used for a person who knows the truth about the creation, destruction, the karmic comings and goings and the enlightenment and illusion of all embodied creatures.
Arjuna has also become famous in the world for being similar to Bhagav膩n on the basis of these scriptural characteristics or for being the beloved friend of 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. Aho (in great wonder), so many 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 and 艣腻蝉迟谤补蝉 are incapable of describing his glories!
