Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
“Mahārāja,” namely, “Yadu-rāja Ugrasena” was adorned with the royal insignia such as white umbrella (śveta-chatra), and white yak-tail fan (śveta-cāmara) while seated on the royal throne. The Yādavas flanked him on all four sides. Despite being served by the most opulent happiness and majesty, all these persons were awaiting the auspicious arrival of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, because Śrī Kṛṣṇa alone is most worshipful and dearest to them. Therefore, everyone in that assembly eagerly awaited His auspicious arrival.
