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, by the order of Śrī Bhagavān, I reached this most beautiful Vṛndāvana instantaneously. Manasā eva, meaning ‘as if by mind,’ indicates the incredible speed of my journey. I had heard from the lips of Śrī Bhagavān, ‘You will sport with Me in Śrī Vṛndāvana according to your desire.’ This statement filled me with joy, but at the same time, I was distressed that I would be separated from Him. In such a state, at that very moment, I reached this Vṛndāvana.”

श्रीमद्-चैतन्य-रूपाय तस्मै भगवते नमः
यत्-कारुण्य-प्रभावेण पाषाणो’प्येष्य नृत्यति

śrīmad-caitanya-rūpāya tasmai bhagavate namaḥ
yat-kāruṇya-prabhāveṇa pāṣāṇo’pyeṣya nṛtyati

I offer obeisances to that Bhagavān who has come as Śrī Caitanya. By the power of His mercy, even a stone-like person like me is dancing in this way.

Thus ends the translation of the bhāvānuvāda of Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī’s Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā on the Second Canto, Chapter Two, of Śrī Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta.
