(By 艢r墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
鈥淎fter continuously singing the holy name, finally, my external consciousness vanished.鈥� To describe this, 艢r墨 Gopakum膩ra speaks this verse beginning with evam. 鈥淭herefore, sometimes I would dance, or cry, or sometimes sing in a melodious voice, or praise the qualities of my Lord. I would call out to 艢r墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍, 鈥極 尘补丑腻产丑耻箩补, O mighty-armed one! Where are You? Please appear before me.鈥� Sometimes I would wander freely, just like a madman, unaware of my body and everything else.鈥� The word 腻诲颈 indicates, 鈥淚 even forgot everything related to the body.鈥�
