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)
It is said that You are all-powerful; therefore, simply by Your sweet will You can get those pastimes and happiness everywhere. Yes, though this is true, still that type of desire arises in 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 only in a special place, not everywhere. Therefore, He is speaking aho. In order to explain that those pastimes and happiness cannot be adopted simply anywhere.
鈥淎las, such distress! What to speak of enacting such pastimes as My balya-濒墨濒腻 in Vraja and living happily as I lived before in Vraja, I cannot even fully describe or portray those pastimes. If that was the case, even the queens would faint too out of love upon hearing these pastimes, if I were able to describe them.鈥�
