ye–who; tu–indeed; asādhāraṇaiḥ–extraordinary; sarvaiḥ–by all; pūrvaiḥ–previous; ātma-manaḥ-ramaih–pleasing the heart; parivāraādibhiḥ–with associates and so forth; yuktam–endowed; nijam–own; iṣṭa-taram–cherished; prabhum–Lord; sampaśyantaḥ–seeing; yathā–as; pūrvam–before; sadā–always; eva–indeed; icchanti–they desire; sevitum–to serve; te–they; atyanta–complete; tattat-niṣṭhā–of their respective dedications; antya–ultimate; kāṣṭhā-vantaḥ–because of attaining the pinnacle; mahā-āśayāḥ–great souls.

By the previous worship of their particular cherished Deity, whose extraordinary characteristics captured their hearts, these devotees have come to Vaikuṇṭha. Even here they still desire to always see and serve that same manifestation of the Lord, who is accompanied by His associates and who is rich with pleasurable pastimes. From this, one should understand that these great souls’ staunch dedication unto their worshipable Lord has reached full maturation.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Nārada says, “Having performed bhajana of the unprecedented and completely wonderful Śrī Raghunātha, along with Jānakī, Lakṣmaṇa, the Lord’s entourage, and extraordinary pastimes, some devotees have achieved Vaikuṇṭha. Here, also, those devotees meditate with the same mood on the pastimes of Śrī Kodaṇḍapāṇi (Śrī Rāmacandra, with bow in hand) in Ayodhyā, in the forest while in exile (vanavāsa), and in other places. They desire the opportunity to serve and to have full darśana of their charming and most beloved worshipable Lord, as in the past. Such devotees are mahāśaya, noble personalities blessed with a grave and serene disposition. Due to their resolute faith in their particular worshipable Deities, they have achieved the pinnacle of unalloyed, one-pointed devotion.”
