Verse 2.4.52

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.4.52:

तेषु वै दृश्यमानेषु तद् ब्रह्मानुभवे सुखम् ।
गच्छत् सुतुच्छतां सद्यो ह्रियेव विरमेत् स्वयम् ॥ ५२ ॥

teṣu vai dṛśyamāneṣu tad brahmānubhave sukham |
gacchat sutucchatāṃ sadyo hriyeva viramet svayam || 52 ||

teṣu–when these; vai–indeed; dṛśyamāneṣu–are seen; tat–that; brahma–of impersonal Brahman; anubhave–through experience; sukham–the happiness; gacchat–becomes; su-tucchatām–very insignificant; sadyaḥ–instantly; hriyā–out of embarrassment; iva–as if; viramet–ceases; svayam–itself.

When one receives darśana of Vaikuṇṭha and all the objects there, then the bliss of Brahman realization seems insignificant, and out of embarrassment, the desire for that bliss disappears on its own.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

To explain the glories of experiencing Vaikuṇṭha, Śrī Gopa-kumāra speaks this verse beginning with teṣu. He says, “When one attains direct darśana of that famous Vaikuṇṭha and all the objects there, he experiences their supreme greatness. Thus, one’s desire to taste the happiness arising from Brahman realization automatically ends. In other words, during the course of one’s experiences, when one gets a glimpse of the delight found in Vaikuṇṭha, then, what to speak of the bliss arising from the realization of one’s soul (svarūpa), even the joy of the experience of Brahman seems insignificant. Therefore, out of embarrassment, the desire for the happiness of Brahman realization ceases of its own accord.”
