Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.3.80:

तद�-दर्श�-स्वभावोत्थ-प्रहर्षाकृष्�-मानस� �
नाज्ञाशिषं किम् अप्य� अन्तर् बहिश� चान्यं नि�-प्रियम� � ८० �

ٲ-岹śԲ-屹dzٳٳ-󲹰ṣṛṣṭa-Բ� |
nājñāśiṣa� kim apy antar bahiś cānya� nija-priyam || 80 ||

ٲ-岹śԲ–the sight; –nٳܰ; uttha–r; 󲹰ṣa–intense joy; ṛṣṭa–aٳٰٱ; Բ�–mԻ; na–ndz; ñṣa–I knew; kim api–aԲٳ󾱲Բ; Գٲ�–wٳ󾱲; –wٳdzܳ; ca–aԻ; anyam–aԲٳ󾱲Բ; nija–oɲ; priyam–d𲹰.

As a natural result of their 岹śԲ, prema welled within me and captured my mind so completely that everything I had held dear–internal or external–was thrust from my consciousness.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śī Gopa-ܳ says, “Upon receiving their direct 岹śԲ, which captivated my mind, I was overwhelmed with a joy so intense that I lost the ability to understand all other matters I had held dear–internal or external, either related to myself or to others.�
