Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Ṭīkā

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

Since Arjuna is absorbed in an ocean of great wonder, repetition of this statement beginning with anādi is not a defect. It is said that if one repeats a subject twice or thrice inadvertently out of bewilderment, surprise or happiness, it is not incorrect.
