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

Śī 岹 says, “I previously discussed the -ԲԻ岹 Deities, which are as good as 󲹲 Śī ṛṣṇa Himself. Their arcana is glorious, so how can there be anything wrong with worshiping Them? Firm faith in this is a great quality. What more need be said?�
