Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śrī Gopa-kumāra says, “When Śrī Hanumānjī pulled me by force, I began to think, ‘Today, not only has my longstanding desire finally reached fruition, but I have also received something totally beyond my greatest expectations.’ Experiencing Śrī Raghunāthajī’s vast compassion, I decided that I would never abandon this city of Ayodhyā and go anywhere else.”
