Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “When I heard Śrī Bhagavān speak in this way, my joy knew no bounds. Submerged in an ocean of bliss, I began to dance non-stop, like someone suffering from lunacy. However, my feet kept slipping and I kept falling on the ground. With great endeavor those associates helped me to regain my composure. After some time, they began to advise me by speaking many pacifying words.”
