Verse 2.1.71

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.1.71:

तथापि प्रत्यभिज्ञेयं तस्य न स्याद् अचेतसः ।
मद्-देवो जगद्-ईशोऽयं माधवोऽपि सतां प्रभुः ॥ ७१ ॥

tathāpi pratyabhijñeyaṃ tasya na syād acetasaḥ |
mad-devo jagad-īśo'yaṃ mādhavo'pi satāṃ prabhuḥ || 71 ||

tathā api–nevertheless; pratyabhijñā–understanding; iyam–this; tasya–by him; na–not; syāt–was; acetasaḥ–unaware; matdevaḥ–my worshipable Lord; jagat-īśaḥ–the Supreme Lord of the universe; ayam–He; mādhavaḥ–Śrī Mādhava; api–also; satām–of the devotees; prabhuḥ–the Lord.

Nevertheless, due to ignorance, the brāhmaṇa did not develop complete knowledge. In other words, he was unable to fully comprehend the idea that “My worshipable Lord is in truth nondifferent from Jagadīśvara, Supreme Lord of the universe; from Śrī Mādhava; and from the Deities worshiped by these Vaiṣṇavas.”

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Parīkṣit says, “Seeing similarities between his own worshipful Deity and Śrī Mādhava, the brāhmaṇa understood that Śrī Mādhava is the Supreme Lord of the universe. However, he could not grasp that his own worshipable Lord was the same as Jagadīśvara, the same as the Deity of Mādhava, and the same as the Deities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead worshiped by these Vaiṣṇavas. Because he was ignorant and lacked discrimination, the brāhmaṇa could neither realize Their oneness nor could he fathom the transcendental connection between Them.”
