तद्-दर्शनानन्द-भरेण तेषां विस्मृत्य शिक्षां बत पार्षदानाम् ।

tad-darśanānanda-bhareṇa teṣāṃ vismṛtya śikṣāṃ bata pārṣadānām |
gopāla he jīvitam ity abhikṣṇaṃ krośann adhāvaṃ parirambhaṇāya || 76 ||

tad-darśana–from seeing Him; ānanda-bhareṇa–by the influence of bliss; teṣām–their; vismṛtya–completely forgetting; śikṣām–instruction; bata–indeed; pārṣadānām–of the associates; gopāla–Gopāla; he–O; jīvitam–my life!; iti–thus; abhīkṣṇam–continuously; krośan–shouting; adhāvam–I ran; parirambhaṇāya–to fully embrace.

I was absorbed in the bliss of the Lord’s darśana and forgot what His associates had instructed me. Thus, loudly shouting over and over again, “O Gopāla, O my life and soul!” I ran to embrace the Lord.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “I was filled with joy upon seeing Śrī Bhagavān. Although the Lord’s eternal associates had advised me regarding the special custom of offering prayers and so on in front of Him, forgetting all of their instructions, I ran with outstretched arms towards the Lord to embrace Him.” “How is it you did that?” the brāhmaṇa might ask.

Gopa-kumāra says, “Eager with intense desire, I repeatedly cried out, ‘O Gopāla! O my life and soul!’ Saying this again and again, I was seized by bewilderment. Actually, by worshiping the Lord with the ten-syllable mantra, one experiences maddening ecstasy which makes one lose all fear and reverence towards one’s worshipable Lord.”
