Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra explains the result of seeing different manifestations of Yajñeśvara, the Lord of the Universe, in the various homes of Maharloka. He says, “Because of receiving the direct darśana of Jagadīśvara everywhere and constantly being showered with His inconceivable mercy, I considered that my birth and chanting (japa) had become completely successful. In great delight, I took up residence there. Then one day, Bhṛgu and other sages spoke to me.”
