Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

The brāhmaṇa might question, “The body of every living being has inherent needs. Due to these needs, did you not face any obstacle in the bliss of receiving the darśana of the divine face of Śrī Jagannātha?”

Śrī Gopa-kumāra replies, “I experienced neither body ailments, such as diseases, nor distress that arises from the mind, such as lust (kāma).” Another way of understanding this verse is that the term syāt, meaning ‘perhaps,’ here indicates possibility. As it is in the locative case, the implication is, “Impediments such as desire for sensuality practically never had the chance to develop in me.” Or, in other words, “Even if sometimes I experienced a little distress, it instantly dissipated by seeing the lotus-eyed divine Lord. The reason is that I felt such exultation from seeing Him that I forgot everything; all my distress vanished naturally.”
