Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “Following the words of Bṛhaspati, the spiritual master of the demigods, I first went to the residence of Śrī Bhṛgu, the foremost among the great sages there, to have darśana of the Supreme Lord Yajñeśvara. Upon reaching his abode, I was astonished to see the tremendous opulence of that place.” By then, Bhṛgu and the other maharṣis had returned back to Maharloka after their tour of the holy places of Bhū-maṇḍala (earth).
