Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

The personified devotional scriptures say, “If you are eager to reach that abode of liberation quickly, go right away to Vraja in Śrī Mathurā to engage in your devotional practices. That land of Vraja is supremely enchanting, and because of your relationship with it, you have become known as most fortunate. The reason for returning to Vraja-bhūmi right now is that at the time of the cosmic annihilation, or mahā-pralaya, which takes place at the end of the two parārdhas (311 trillion, 40 billion years) of Brahmā’s–meaning your–lifespan, those residents who are still attached to sense gratification will have to return to the lower planets, but those who are detached will become liberated along with Brahmā. If you wait for this, it will take you a long time to attain liberation. In other words, you can endeavor to obtain liberation while in this post of Brahmā, but you will have to enjoy the vast opulences of Brahmaloka for all that time. Therefore, you should quickly return to that playground of Bhagavān, Śrī Vṛndāvana and Govardhana, which is so very dear to you and which fulfills unlimited types of desires.”
