Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.6.28:

श्री-परीक्षिद् उवाच�
तद�-वाक्�-तत्त्व� विज्ञा� रोहिणी सास्रम� अब्रवीत् �
चि�-गोकु�-वासे� तत्रत्�-जन-सम्मता � २८ �

śrī-parīkṣid uvāca
ٲ-ⲹ-tattva� vijñāya rohiṇ� sāsram abravīt |
cira-gokula-vāsena tatratya-jana-sammatā || 28 ||

Śī ʲīṣi ѲᲹ said: Understanding the claims of Śī Uddhava, Śī dzṇ�, who was so dear to the residents of Gokula and who had resided there for a long time, began to speak as follows while shedding tears of prema.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

However, Śī dzṇ�-ī could not control her impulse to describe the narration of Vraja due to her attachment for the exclusive, beloved devotees of Śī ṛṣṇa. To demonstrate this, ѲᲹ ʲīṣi speaks this verse beginning with ٲ-ⲹ.

Śī dzṇ�-ī understood the purpose behind Śī Uddhava’s words: Śī ṛṣṇa’s complete mercy is only in the Ჹ-ī, not anywhere else. Śī dzṇ�-ī is extremely dear to the residents of Gokula, due to her residing in Gokula for such a long time. Śī dzṇī� began to speak, shedding tears of transcendental ecstasy.
