Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra might present the doubt, “Since I am bewildered by many obstacles, how I can develop unwavering dedication (niṣṭhā) for nāma-saṅkīrtana?”

The Vaikuṇṭha pārṣadas reply in this verse beginning with bhakti. They say, “By the power of your bhakti, which has been accumulated by thoroughly deliberating on these truths in the continuous association of saintly persons, you will always overcome your obstacles, no matter how formidable.”

Śrī Gopa-kumāra might ask, “How can one achieve anything without the mercy of great personalities?”

The Vaikuṇṭha pārṣadas happily answer, “By inspiring truth in your heart to conquer your impediments, and in other ways as well, we will help you everywhere along the way.”
