Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
Śrī Nārada, hearing these words of Bhagavān, immersed himself in an ocean of the infinite bliss, and pleased Śrī Krsna, the embodiment of complete, concentrated bliss by dancing and singing in various ways. He demonstrated the glories of his bhakti in the form of kīrtana.
