Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Ṭīkā

(By Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura; the innermost intention of the commentary named ‘the shower of essential meanings’)

“In the Gītā (10.8), You say, ‘ahaṃ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṃ pravartate–I am the source of all worlds, both mundane and spiritual. Everything emanates from Me,’ and ‘iti matvā bhajante mām–knowing Me in this way, learned scholars who know the essence of the Vedas, render loving service to Me.’ You say that everything in existence is Your opulence and that learned personalities engage in service to You through bhakti-yoga. O Janārdana, the sweetness of Your beneficial instructions has created a greed in me, and now I yearn for a more detailed description (vistareṇa). In this regard, what can I do? Now that I have tasted the nectar of Your instructions through my ears, I am not satisfied. Therefore, please explain them again in detail.”
