Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “Those associates of the Lord were standing behind me, and when they saw my maddened condition, they held me back. My consciousness had become completely subjugated by prema and therefore I cried in distress and most humbly petitioned those associates. Then I fainted in front of Śrī Bhagavān.”
