Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁玨膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da
(By 艢谤墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
"O Prabhu, the life of the 惫谤补箩补-惫腻蝉墨蝉 cannot be saved by any other way than the auspicious arrival of Your sweet, attractive lotus feet. They do not expect any other object, such as Your letter giving a message of prema. I have understood this for sure, and You should also have this faith."This seemingly refutes that 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 is omniscient (蝉补谤惫补箩帽补) and in the heart of everyone as the Supersoul (补苍迟补谤测腻尘墨).
