Verse 2.4.133

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.4.133:

भगवत्-परमैश्वर्य-प्रान्त-सीमा-प्रकाशने ।
वैकुण्ठेऽस्मिन् महा-गोप्यः प्रकटः सम्भवेत् कथम् ॥ १३३ ॥

bhagavat-paramaiśvarya-prānta-sīmā-prakāśane |
vaikuṇṭhe'smin mahā-gopyaḥ prakaṭaḥ sambhavet katham || 133 ||

bhagavat–of the Supreme Lord; parama-aiśvarya–of the great opulence; prānta-sīmā–the topmost limit; prakāśane–is displayed; vaikuṇṭhe–within the realm of no anxiety; asmin–in this; mahāgopyaḥ–very confidential; prakaṭaḥ–manifest; sambhave–it can be; katham–how.

This abode of Vaikuṇṭha is the only place where Bhagavān displays the topmost limit of His opulence. Therefore, how can those most confidential, sweet pastimes possibly manifest here?

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Such pastimes are not found in Vaikuṇṭha. Śrī Nārada explains the reason for this in this verse beginning with bhagavat. He says, “These pleasing pastimes are most confidential and secret. How can such pastimes be revealed here in Vaikuṇṭha?

This is the exclusive place in which Bhagavān displays His supremacy and grandeur to the maximum degree. In contrast, Bhagavān’s most delightful pastimes can only be experienced where His devotees exhibit the mood of being His dearmost friends.”
