Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “I did not go to the brāhmaṇa’s home because I became pleased just by hearing his words. After that, I offered him repeated obeisances, begging forgiveness for not visiting his home and accepting the Lord’s prasāda, and seeking his blessings for an auspicious journey and for an increase in my devotion. I then proceeded to the capital city by the path he had indicated.”
