Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
If the animals of Vraja are getting their protection, then why everywhere the rumor that in the absence of a guardian (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) all the cows and animals are getting lost? Therefore, you say that the vraja-vāsīs do not need a guardian for the protection of the cows; that is a fib. You are really being chatty like a foolish, little girl.
