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)
艢谤墨 Gopa-办耻尘腻谤补 says, 鈥淲e children, out of curiosity, would always go to see him. Although we did not approach him out of devotion or with any faith, still, knowing we were cowherd boys, he offered obeisance to us with devotion. The 产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺鈥檚 sublime compassion is shown in this incident and will be detailed later.鈥�
