परम-हर्ष-भरात् क्रमितो ह्य् अहं जय जयेति वदन् प्रणमन् मुहुः ।
मृदुल-वाग्-अमृतैः परमाद्भुतैर् भगवतार्द्र-हृदा परितर्पितः ॥ २६२ ॥

parama-harṣa-bharāt kramito hy ahaṃ jaya jayeti vadan praṇaman muhuḥ |
mṛdula-vāg-amṛtaiḥ paramādbhutair bhagavatārdra-hṛdā paritarpitaḥ || 262 ||

parama-harṣa–of the highest happiness; bharāt–because of an abundance; kramitaḥ–overcome; hi–indeed; aham–I; jaya jaya–Glory! Glory!; iti–thus; vadan–uttering; praṇaman–bowing down completely; muhuḥ–repeatedly; mṛdula-vāg-amṛtaiḥ–with ambrosial gentle words; parama-adbhutaiḥ–supremely amazing; bhagavatā–by the Lord; ārdra–melting; hṛdā–whose heart; paritarpitaḥ–fully satisfied.

With great happiness, I called out, “Jaya! Jaya!” and offered repeated obeisances to Bhagavān Śrī Rāmacandra. Then Śrī Bhagavān, whose heart is melted with compassion, pleased me with the most wonderful, tender words.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “Seeing the sweet exchange between master and servant, I was overcome with great bliss and offered praṇāma to the Lord while calling out “Jaya! Jaya!” Śrī Bhagavān, His compassionate heart overflowing with affection, fully satisfied me with His tender, nectarean words. What sort of nectarean words? Those words were indescribably wonderful, bestowing a mercy I had never experienced before.”
