Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Bhagavān says, “You will receive extraordinary bliss in Vṛndāvana.” This is to say, “Your happiness will be incomparable, surpassing that attained by the fulfillment of artha (economic development), dharma (religiosity), kāma (sense enjoyment), and mokṣa (liberation).”

The Lord continues, “On the way to Vṛndāvana, do not delay or get side-tracked.” In other words, “Do not get distracted by the path of jñāna (empiric knowledge) and so forth.”

“In Vṛndāvana, by My mercy alone, you will receive unlimited happiness. It is true that only by My mercy you experienced happiness in Kāśī and here in Prayāga. Similarly, in Vṛndāvana, also, you shall obtain bliss by My mercy. However, because My special mercy manifests there by the influence of exceptional place, exceptional time, and exceptional association, happiness in Vṛndāvana is known to be extraordinary.”
