O most fortunate one, it is the conclusion of the Vedas that the spiritual master can describe to an affectionate disciple even the most confidential truth. Therefore, now you also should hear the glories of this Goloka.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

“Although this is the most confidential subject matter, still, I shall reveal it to you.” With such intention, Śrī Jaimini speaks this verse beginning with param. In the phrase, “O mahābhāga!” the adjective mahā-bhāga, meaning ‘most fortunate,’ indicates that Janamejaya is a fit candidate to hear these confidential topics. Śrī Jaimini says, “In particular, you have already heard from me about the glories of the Lord’s dearmost devotees (priyatama-jana). Now, hear from me about the glories of their abode, Śrī Goloka. Since the glories of Goloka amount to nothing less than the glories of Śrī Bhagavān and His most exalted devotees, this narration is indeed like nectar extracted from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.”
