Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śī Gopa-ܳ says, “Seeing the sweet exchange between master and servant, I was overcome with great bliss and offered ṇām to the Lord while calling out �Jaya! Jaya!� Śī 󲹲, His compassionate heart overflowing with affection, fully satisfied me with His tender, nectarean words. What sort of nectarean words? Those words were indescribably wonderful, bestowing a mercy I had never experienced before.�
