Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “Thus I attained my goal–direct darśana of my worshipable Lord, whom I had been yearning to see for such a long time. Now fully satisfied, with all my desires fulfilled, I repeatedly offered Him prostrated obeisances from a distance. With words full of kindness, that most merciful Śrī Viṣṇu affectionately called me over to Him.”
