atha api–however; govardhana–of Govardhana Hill; gopa–of a cowherd; putraḥ–the son; tam–for that; arhasi–are worthy; tvam–you; mathurā-īśa-bhaktaḥ–a devotee of the Lord of Mathurāmaṇḍala; tat-eka-bhakti–unalloyed devotion to Him; priya–dear; vipra–of a brāhmaṇa; śiṣyaḥ–disciple; tadīya–his; tan-mantra–to His mantra; paraḥ–deeply; anuraktaḥ–affectionate.

But you, O son of a cowherdsman from Govardhana, are qualified to go to Vaikuṇṭha because you are a devotee of the Lord of Mathurā, a disciple of a brāhmaṇa who cherishes unalloyed devotion to the Lord, and one who is deeply attached to chanting the Lord’s mantra.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Mahādeva says, “That abode of Śrī Vaikuṇṭha is most difficult to achieve, yet you are qualified to go there.” The five verses beginning here with athāpi govardhana describe why this is so. He says, “O gopa-putra, O son of a cowherder from Śrī Govardhana, you are a devotee of Mathurā-nātha, the Lord of Mathurā; you are a disciple of a brāhmaṇa who cherishes exclusive and unalloyed bhakti to Him; and you are also very devoted to chanting the ten-syllable mantra imbued with the indescribable glories of Śrī Madana-gopāla. Thus, you are exclusively attached to Śrī Gopāla-deva.”
