Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The sāttvika-vikāras, or transcendental transformations, exhibited by Bhṛgu Muni indicated the presence of devotional sentiments. Bhṛgu displayed compassion on all the sages by singing the following supreme truth:
īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ anādir ādir govindaḥ sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam
“Govinda, Kṛṣṇa, is the cause of all causes. He is the primal cause, and He is the very form of eternity, knowledge, and bliss.”
