श्री-नन्दनन्दन उवाच—
प्राणेश्वरि रहः-प्राप्तं भक्तम् एकाकिनं च माम् ।
सम्भाषसे कथं नाद्य तत् किं वृत्तासि मानिनी ॥ ४१ ॥śrī-nandanandana uvāca—
prāṇeśvari rahaḥ-prāptaṃ bhaktam ekākinaṃ ca mām |
sambhāṣase kathaṃ nādya tat kiṃ vṛttāsi māninī || 41 ||Śrī Nanda-nandana said: “O Praneśvarī, O Supreme Goddess of my life! I am solely your devotee. Despite seeing me in this secluded place, why are you not speaking with me today? Have you become angry out of jealousy?”
Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
