Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

The Vaikuṇṭha pārṣadas say, “Understand this truth: we have come to this abode of liberation for you alone. Therefore, do not consider yourself unfit to attain Vaikuṇṭha. (More shall be said in this connection further on.) If you desire to enter Vaikuṇṭha, then, first, give up your attachment to the regulated chanting of your mantra, or mantra-japa, and execute the nine types of bhakti (navadhā-bhakti), such as hearing (śravaṇa) and chanting (kīrtana). This advice is, indeed, for your benefit. To begin with, leave this abode of liberation. Then, give up your attachment to performing mantra-japa along with nyāsa (rituals to spiritualize the body), dhyāna (meditation), and other formal practices, and with pure love perform śravaṇa, kīrtana, and the other practices of bhakti.”
