sa eva mādhavaś cāyaṃ mayānyaḥ ko'py upāsyate || 72 ||idam–this; saḥ vimṛśati–he would think; eṣām–for them; upāsyaḥ–the worshipable object; jagad-īśvaraḥ–the Supreme Lord of the universe; saḥ–He; eva–only; mādhavaḥ–Śrī Mādhava; ca–and; ayam–He; mayā–by me; anyaḥ–another; kaḥ api–someone; upāsyate–is worshiped.
Rather, he always thought, “The worshipable Lord of these sādhus is indeed the Supreme Lord of the universe, who is also Śrī Mādhava. However, the personality I worship is someone else.
Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
Śrī Parīkṣit says, “He thought, ‘The worshipable
Deity (upāsya-deva) of these saintly Vaiṣṇavas is Jagadīśvara, the Supreme Lord of the universe, and is also Śrī Mādhava, whose darśana I have been having. I accept the words of the saintly persons as authoritative in this matter. However, the Supreme Personality I worship is someone else.’”
