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)
In this verse beginning with eko, 艢r墨 Gopakum膩ra describes the forms of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 he saw. He says, 鈥淪anaka, the leader of the four sages, took the form of 艢r墨 狈腻谤腻测补峁嘺. One brother manifested as the exalted Nara. Of the other two 碍耻尘腻谤补蝉, one took the form of Upendra, whom I had seen in heaven, and the other appeared as Yaj帽e艣vara, who is worshiped in Maharloka. The forms they assumed were similar to those manifestations of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍. Gradually, they manifested various forms of the Lord such as 狈峁泂颈峁僪补 and 痴腻尘补苍补.鈥�
