(By 艢r墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
While mentioning all the joyful and exalted glories of Vraja in six verses beginning with the words 肠颈迟谤腻迟颈-citra, He first describes the great joy experienced Himself in Vraja.
鈥淚 was in that 鈥榳ondrous and more wondrous鈥� Vraja (肠颈迟谤腻迟颈-citra), that is, where I could not tell if it was day or night, submerged in the blissful ocean of variegated pastimes that could charm the hearts of the whole world. Rather, at that time I had drowned in the ocean of bliss of that indescribably powerful and enchanting company of the residents of Vraja.鈥�
