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.�
