Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Having given a general account of the glories of saṅkīrtana, the Vaikuṇṭha pārṣadas are presenting its special mood in this verse beginning with śrī-kṛṣṇa. They say, “Who can describe the incomparable glories of the joy of relishing with one’s tongue, with love and in wonderful ways, the mellow of continuously drinking the nectar of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s names? In other words, no one can adequately describe the glories of śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāma-saṅkīrtana.”
