Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

The special quality of Vaikuṇṭha is that all the opulences there have the same transcendental nature. That is, they are sac-cid-ānanda, comprised of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. To explain this, Śrī Gopa-kumāra speaks this verse beginning with sat. The words yathā-kāmam, meaning ‘as one desires,’ indicate that all those opulences, which are completely at the beck and call of the residents of Vaikuṇṭha, manifest in their full form when desired. Because these powers are sac-cid-ānanda, although they remain perfectly manifest in the residents of Vaikuṇṭha, the residents are never subject to any fault that comes from association with material sense objects.
