एवं स-गानं बहुधाह्वयंस् तं क्षणं प्रनृत्यन् क्षणम् उद्रुदंश् च ।

एवं स-गानं बहुधाह्वयंस् तं
क्षणं प्रनृत्यन् क्षणम् उद्रुदंश् च उन्मत्तवत् कामम् इतस् ततो’हं
भ्रमामि देहादिकम् अस्मरन् स्वम्

evaṃ sa-gānaṃ bahudhāhvayaṃs taṃ
kṣaṇaṃ pranṛtyan kṣaṇam udrudaṃś ca unmattavat kāmam itas tato’haṃ
bhramāmi dehādikam asmaran svam

evam–thus; sa-gānam–while singing; bahudhā–in numerous ways; āhvayan–calling out; tam–to Him; kṣaṇam–sometimes; pranṛtyan–dancing with abandon; kṣaṇam–sometimes; udrudan–crying out loudly; ca–also; unmatta-vat–like a person totally enmaddened; kāmam–at my whimsy; itas tataḥ–hither and thither; aham bhramāmi–I wander; deha-ādikam–the body and so forth; asmaran–forgetting; svam–own.

Thus, singing and calling out to my worshipful Lord in various ways, I would sometimes dance, sometimes weep, and sometimes wander like a madman, forgetting even my own body and everything else.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

“After continuously singing the holy name, finally, my external consciousness vanished.” To describe this, Śrī Gopakumāra speaks this verse beginning with evam. “Therefore, sometimes I would dance, or cry, or sometimes sing in a melodious voice, or praise the qualities of my Lord. I would call out to Śrī Bhagavān, ‘O mahābhuja, O mighty-armed one! Where are You? Please appear before me.’ Sometimes I would wander freely, just like a madman, unaware of my body and everything else.” The word ādi indicates, “I even forgot everything related to the body.”
