mahā-rahasyaṃ nigamārtha-tattvaṃ sva-bhakti-mārgaṃ kamalāsanāya |
śanair vivṛtyopadiśantam antar nijālayendrasya virājamānam || 133 ||

mahā-rahasyam–very confidential; nigama–of the Vedas; arthatattvam–the esoteric truths; sva-bhakti-mārgam–the path of His devotional service; kamala-āsanāya–to Brahmā, who sat upon a lotus; śanaiḥ–gradually; vivṛtya–revealing; upadiśantam–teaching; antaḥ–within; nija–own; ālaya–of abodes; indrasya–of the best; virājamānam–illuminating.

The lustrous Śrī Jagadīśvara, ensconced in His abode illumined by His own bodily radiance, was speaking to Brahmā, who was seated on the lotus. Śrī Jagadīśvara was meticulously explaining to Brahmā the esoteric and mysterious truths of bhakti-mārga, the path of pure devotion, which is the most confidential essence of the Vedas.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra continued, “Brahmā, whose seat is the lotus emanating from the Lord’s navel, finished worshiping the Lord and sat near Him. Then Śrī Bhagavān slowly explained in detail the most confidential process, bhakti-mārga, by which one is able to obtain Him. That topic is the greatest of esoteric secrets, and therefore the Lord spoke softly into the ears of Brahmā, who had inquired, ‘What is the nature of bhakti-mārga?’ Śrī Jagadīśvara, whose radiant presence had illumined His abode, replied, ‘Bhakti-mārga, the path of pure loving devotion, is the essence of all the Vedic texts (nigamas) and is the means (abhidheya-tattva) by which the ultimate goal is achieved. Because it is the most esoteric of all topics, it is very confidential.’”
