Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

The brāhmaṇa might ask, “How was it that you met your gurudeva on the shore of the ocean after some days?”

Śrī Gopa-kumāra replies, “I searched for Gurudeva everywhere.

Then one day I unexpectedly saw him by the ocean.”

“In what condition did you find him?”

“Gurudeva was dancing alone in the bliss of nāma-saṅkīrtana.” This was due to his own sweet singing of the names of Śrī Bhagavān, or due to his perceiving the form of the Lord as he sang.
