Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.3.79:
अनिर्वाच्यतमांश् चेतो-हारि-सर्व-परिच्छदान् ।
सङ्गतान् पूर्व-दृष्टैस् तैस् चतुर्भिः सनकादिभिः ॥ ७९ ॥anirvācyatamāṃś ceto-hāri-sarva-paricchadān |
saṅgatān pūrva-dṛṣṭais tais caturbhiḥ sanakādibhiḥ || 79 ||anirvācya-tamān–most indescribable; cetaḥ–the heart; hāri–stealing; sarva–all; paricchadān–ornaments; saṅgatān–accompanied; pūrva–before; dṛṣṭaiḥ–seen; taiḥ–by them; caturbhiḥ–the four boy sages; sanaka-ādibhiḥ–headed by Sanaka.
They are beyond the power of words to describe. Their clothes and ornaments were so beautiful as to steal your mind. Accompanying them were the four brothers headed by Sanaka, whom I had previously seen in Tapoloka.
Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “Their clothes and ornaments were enchanting, and they were accompanied by Śrī Sanaka and his three brothers, whom I had previously seen in Tapoloka. Although the four Kumāras always reside in Tapoloka, they are no less than the residents of Brahmaloka (Satyaloka, the realm of Śrī Brahmā) because they are incarnations of Bhagavān.”
