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.’”
