Śī Gopa-ܳ said: I accepted neither the mystic perfections such as ṇi presented by ʰṛt-ī, nor her words, but I bowed before her, considering her only to be the energy of վṣṇ. Then I began wandering around to see the beautiful luster of her layer.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Śī Gopa-ܳ says, “The goddess of material energy had brought me many gifts, including ṇi and the other mystic perfections. But I did not accept those offerings, nor did I regard her words. Considering her to be merely the energy of վṣṇ, I offered her obeisances. Then I began to wander here and there to look at the enchanting hue of her layer.�
