Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra has described what he experienced before, and now in this verse beginning with sneham, He describes the special characteristics of his experience. “O mind! You have experienced how Śrī Lakṣmī-devī affectionately caressed you back to consciousness when you fainted. Now with your eyes behold Śrī Jagadīśvara.” This reveals that Śrī Jagadīśvara’s abode, Satyaloka, is superior even to Tapoloka. Gopa-kumāra continues, “Therefore, give up your grief in being separated from Mathurā and Vraja-bhūmi and abandon your desire to go to Nīlācala as well.”
