Verse 2.2.85

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.2.85:

सदा नीलाचले राजज्-जगन्नाथ-दिदृक्षया ।
यियासुं तत्र संलक्ष्याब्रवीन् मां पिप्पलायनः ॥ ८५ ॥

sadā nīlācale rājaj-jagannātha-didṛkṣayā |
yiyāsuṃ tatra saṃlakṣyābravīn māṃ pippalāyanaḥ || 85 ||

sadā–always; nīlācale–on a blue mountain, the temple in Purī; rājat–who shines; jagannātha–Śrī Jagannātha; didṛkṣayā–because of a desire to see; yiyāsum–my intense desire to depart; tatra–there; saṃlakṣya–noticing; abravīt–spoke; mām–to me; pippalāyanaḥ–Pippalāyana Muni.

When my attachment became overwhelming, it sparked in me the desire to go to Nīlācala to see the eternally manifest Śrī Jagannāthadeva. Understanding my intention, the omniscient sage Śrī Pippalāyana came to me.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “Unable to have darśana of Bhagavān in Tapoloka, I decided to go to Nīlācala to see Śrī Jagannātha-deva, who is always present there. At that time, the yogendra Pippalāyana approached me. Nine of Bhagavān Śrī Ṛṣabhadeva’s sons are powerful mystic yogīs (known as the nava-yogendras), headed by Kavi. The middle yogendra Śrī Pippalāyana, being omniscient, came to know my desire. Observing my behavior–aimlessly wandering about, looking dejected and lamenting–he remarked, ‘Śrī Jagannātha is always present in Nīlācala. This does not mean that He sometimes disappears from Svarga and Maharloka, or that His presence in those places is not guaranteed.’”
