tat–that; sarva–from everything; nairapekṣyeṇa–with detachment; kaḥ–what; doṣaḥ–fault; syāt–can there be; tad-arcane–in worshiping Him; kathañcit–somehow; kriyamāṇe–in the performance; api–even; mahā–great; lābhaḥ–benefit; api–rather; budhyate–it is understood.

“Therefore, what is wrong if one gives up all other practices and worships those Deities? After pondering the issue, one can understand that nothing but great benefit is accrued by worshiping the Deity in any manner.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “Is there any fault in abandoning all other practices, including dharma, karma, and yoga (Vedic ritualistic ceremonies, fruitive activities, and mystic yoga practice), and engaging in the worship of those Deities? There is absolutely no fault; rather, one receives the greatest advantage, in other words, enormous reward, from any type of Deity worship. If one considers it deeply, then one will realize that all types of bhakti are simultaneously included and perfected in arcana, or Deity worship.”
