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, 鈥淗aving no desire to stay there, I humbly begged 顿丑补谤补峁嚹�-诲别惫墨 to allow me to leave. Taking her permission, I crossed that earth stratum.鈥�
The 惭补迟丑耻谤腻 产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 might ask, 鈥淵ou were requested by that topmost Vai峁ａ箛av墨 to stay, so why did you not spend a few days there?鈥�
艢谤墨 Gopa-办耻尘腻谤补 replies, 鈥淏eing pulled by some force of attraction, I crossed the other layers very quickly.鈥� This indicates that it is not proper to delay elsewhere while engaging in 蝉腻诲丑补苍补 (practice) to achieve the abode of liberation.
