I saw that most wonderful form of the Lord and at the same time observed the presence of all the fourteen worlds in subtle form in the lotus emanating from His navel. Witnessing how the fourheaded Brahmā was overwhelmed with divine love upon hearing the confidential secrets of bhakti from the Lord, I began to reside there happily.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

To explain why he lived in Satyaloka in utter happiness, Śrī Gopa-kumāra speaks this verse beginning with paśyan. He says, “There, as I beheld that most wondrous form of the Lord, which is famous for its matchless glory, I observed the universe, comprised of fourteen planetary systems, situated in its subtle, elemental form within the lotus that had arisen from the Lord’s navel. When fourheaded Brahmā heard Bhagavān’s instructions about the deep secrets of bhakti, he became overwhelmed with prema while tears streamed from his eyes. Having witnessed all this, I started to live happily in Brahmaloka.” This statement reveals that Gopa-kumāra’s stay in Brahmaloka was even more extraordinary than and far superior to his delightful sojourns on Svarga and the other planets.
