(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
Now, by showing special mercy towards the Pāṇḍavas, you are telling me that Bhagavān, having appeared now in the city of Mathurā, is displaying His potencies (vibhūtis) to the utmost limits of opulence (aiśvarya) by extending His mercy to the Paṇḍavas.
