Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
In this way, after narrating the general glories of the Yādavas, now Śrī Nārada, establishing Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s King Ugrasena as the recipient of His special mercy, begins to glorify Śrī Ugrasena's greatness by addressing him in the most honorific manner by using the appropriate title.
“O King of kings, Ugrasena, you are the king of even Mahārāja Śrī Yudhiṣṭhira. In this world, who can describe your glories which are so famous and are experienced directly by the people? In other words, none can describe them.”
