Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

“Any offense I committed to Śrī Jagadīśvara was cast aside by the mercy of the Lord and the affection of Śrī Mahā Lakṣmī.” This is explained in the two verses beginning with atyanta. Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “Because I served Śrī Jagadīśvara in such intimate proximity, there was the possibility that I might transgress propriety out of a lack of reverence. Nevertheless, because in the mood of our relationship, I saw Him as my father and served Him like this, I never had any fear. If I did sometimes commit offenses, my compassionate Lord forgave them all.”
