Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

“O flickering mind!” says Śrī Gopa-kumāra, “Now, here in Vaikuṇṭha, using your intelligence and careful consideration, give up your fickle nature.” To reinforce this line of thought, he speaks this verse beginning with tasmāt.

He says, “No other reward is superior to residence in Vaikuṇṭha. Accept that this is the topmost goal. There are hundreds of arguments that support this. Consider them well and obtain the highest peace and happiness that will soothe your distress.”
