Verse 2.2.84

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.2.84:

स्थान-स्वभावजाच् चित्त-प्रसादानन्दतोऽधिकम् ।
तेन सम्पद्यमानेन सा दिदृक्षा विवर्धिता ॥ ८४ ॥

sthāna-svabhāvajāc citta-prasādānandato'dhikam |
tena sampadyamānena sā didṛkṣā vivardhitā || 84 ||

sthāna–of that place; sva-bhāva-jāt–generated from the nature; citta-prasāda–of the purity of consciousness; ānandataḥ–in comparison to the bliss; adhikam–more; tena–by that (chanting of mantra); sampadyamānena–by engaging; sā–that; didṛkṣā–desire to see (Bhagavān); vivardhitā–increased.

Due to the glorious nature of that realm, as I continuously chanted my mantra, my attachment to seeing the Lord began to increase. The bliss and joy I would experience in my heart made the pleasure of being with Sanaka and the other sages appear vapid.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

The brāhmaṇa might question, “Since your desire to see the Lord progressively weakened, how were you able to experience the special glories of Tapoloka?”

In reply, Śrī Gopa-kumāra first reveals the glories of Tapoloka and then explains how the desire for being ātmā-rāma can be expunged by lovingly performing mantra-japa. He says, “While chanting my mantra, I began to feel the great bliss that is the intrinsic nature of Tapoloka. As a result, I began to chant the mantra more than ever, and this in turn vastly increased my long-standing desire for darśana of Jagadiśa. Now, the happiness of associating with the ātmā-rāma sages began to feel tasteless.”
