Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
By the audience of those vraja-vāsīs, or by the experience of their darśana, I have understood that Bhagavān has shown me complete mercy by sending me to Vraja. Thereby considering myself a recipient of Bhagavān’s special mercy, an ocean of bliss has submerged me.
