Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
पञ्चमे निज-माहात्म्यं मुन्युक्तं पाण्डवा यथा
निरस्योचुर् यदुना तत्-तथा ते’प्युद्धवस्य तत्pañcame nija-māhātmyaṃ munyuktaṃ pāṇḍavā yathā
nirasyocur yadunā tat-tathā te’pyuddhavasya tatJust as the Pāṇḍavas refute their own glorification depicted by Śrī Nārada and instead sing the glories of the Yādavas; similarly, in this Fifth Chapter, the Yādavas also refute such aggrandizement and sing the glories of Śrī Uddhava.
While dancing and sometimes swiftly running, Śrī Nārada entered into the capital of Śrī Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja.
