(By 艢谤墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
艢谤墨 Janamejaya says, 鈥淢other and son were greedy for the honey of 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 lotus feet. Please narrate their nectarean conversation, which is filled with many sweet stories and sub-stories. Why? Because you are the person most conversant with the topic discussed by these rasika devotees, who are skilled in relishing the transcendental mellows of loving relationship with the Lord.鈥�
