Verse 2.1.87

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.1.87:

गतो वृन्दावनं तत्र ध्यायमानं निजे जपे ।
तं तं परिकरं प्रायो वीक्ष्याभिक्ष्णं ननन्द सः ॥ ८७ ॥

gato vṛndāvanaṃ tatra dhyāyamānaṃ nije jape |
taṃ taṃ parikaraṃ prāyo vīkṣyābhikṣṇaṃ nananda saḥ || 87 ||

gataḥ–gone; vṛndāvanam–to Vṛndāvana; tatra–there; dhyāyamānam–meditating; nije–his own; jape–in the chanting; tam tam parikaram–the entire entourage of Vraja; prāyaḥ–for the most part; vīkṣya–seeing; abhīkṣṇam–continuously; nananda–enjoyed; saḥ–he.

He then proceeded to Vṛndāvana. There, he began to almost always have sphūrtis (internal momentary revelations) in which he would see the entire entourage of Vraja–the cows, cowherd boys, and so on–practically everything he used to picture in his meditation during the chanting of his mantra. This vision of those associates of Vraja filled the brāhmaṇa with continuous, incomparable joy.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Parīkṣit says, “He often saw the incredible and illustrious entourage: the exquisitely beautiful cows, cowherd boys, kadamba trees, and so on. He would also almost always see the worshipable Deity of his mantra accompanied by His associates.”
