Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra speaks this verse starting with śrī kṛṣṇa to explain the nature of nāma-saṅkīrtana. “I would sing Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Gopāla, Hari, Mukunda, and so on because I considered all those names of Śrī Kṛṣṇa that are connected with His most beloved associates to be the most dear to Him.”
