Verse 2.2.82

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.2.82:

भगवद्-दर्शनाशा च महती फलिता न मे ।
उताभूद् विरमन्तीव तेषां सङ्गे स्वभावतः ॥ ८२ ॥

bhagavad-darśanāśā ca mahatī phalitā na me |
utābhūd viramantīva teṣāṃ saṅge svabhāvataḥ || 82 ||

bhagavat-darśana–for the sight of the all-opulent Lord; āśā–desire; ca–also; mahatī–great; phalitā–fulfilled; na–not; me–for me; uta–indeed; abhūt–it was; viramanti–it ceased; iva–apparently; teṣām–their; saṅge–in the association; sva-bhāvataḥ–because of their nature.

There, my ardent desire for darśana of Bhagavān was not fulfilled. Indeed, by the influence of the association of the self-satisfied sages, it actually began to wane.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “My long-cherished, great hope of seeing Bhagavān did not bear fruit in Tapoloka; rather, the association of the ātmā-rāma sages gradually weakened it. By associating with those who are self-satisfied, one’s desire for his constitutional position (sahaja-dharma)–to see the Lord and to perform loving pastimes with Him–naturally becomes subdued. That is how my ardent desire also ebbed away.”
