वानराणाम् अबुद्धीनां मादृशां तत्र का कथा ।

vetsi tvam api tad-vṛttaṃ tad viśaṅke'parādhataḥ || 98 ||

What to speak of a mindless monkey like me? You are well aware of the potency to bewilder in these pastimes. Therefore, I am always fearful of committing offenses.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Therefore, what to speak of a less intelligent monkey like me in this matter? In other words, simply by seeing those pastimes I would become bewildered. If you say that learned sages devoted to the practice of jñāna become bewildered, and our appointed adhikāra Brahmā also becomes bewildered, then what is the likelihood of devotees becoming deluded by the līlās of Bhagavān? With this apprehension, he says that topmost exalted devotees such as you, Śrī Nārada, also are deluded by His mystifying līlas. Therefore, you are well aware of the deluding potency of those līlas. For this reason, you began wandering from each palace of every queen in Dvārakā.
