Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra might request of Śrī Nārada, “Out of your kindness for the fallen, please reveal to me some sweet glories of that special ecstasy.”

Anticipating this, Śrī Nārada speaks this verse beginning with tad. He says, “Only those persons whose very nature is to relish the rasa of that special ecstasy understand its excellent glories and sweetness. No one else can understand it. I myself am unable to comprehend that truth.” (Factually, these words only indicate Śrī Nārada’s humility.) Then he tells Gopa-kumāra, “By the mercy of Śrī Gokula-nātha, you took birth in the land of Gokula and therefore, you can understand this essential truth.”
