Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “In this way, even though I was distressed from separation, by the potency of Brahmaloka I actually experienced no sorrow at all.” To describe how this was possible, he speaks this verse beginning with jagat. “The special reason was that Śrī Jagadīśvara would pamper me lovingly just like a son, and because of this, my happiness knew no bounds. Consequently, the deep misery agitating my mind and heart vanished and I was not disturbed in any other way.”
