Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
Before elaborately explaining the mercy of Bhagavān towards Śrī Hanumān, Śrī Prahlāda mentions the topic of his insignificant luck with the two verses beginning with Bhagavann (my lord and master).
Vihitārtha means that after having fulfilled the purpose of killing the demons and so on, He disappeared at once.
