Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.6.60:

अनन्�-साध्यं तद� वीक्ष्� विविधै� शपथै� शतैः �
तान् यत्नाद� ईषद् आश्वास्य त्वरयात्रागत� बलात� � ६० �

ananya-sādhya� tad vīkṣya vividhai� śapathai� śatai� |
tān yatnād īṣad āśvāsya tvarayātrāgata� balāt || 60 ||

Although I truly experienced that no one can please them other than Śrī ṛṣṇa, still I took hundreds of vows of many types and with great effort gave them some consolation. Then, although I did not have their approval, with great difficulty I quickly returned to ٱ.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

After going to Vraja, I realized that no one is capable of satisfying the Ჹ-ī other than Śrī ṛṣṇa. Therefore, with thousands of words like “Śrī ṛṣṇa would certainly come back� and “I would soon bring Him back from ٱ� and with great effort I somewhat pacified them. Then, despite not having their permission and with great difficulty, I quickly returned to ٱ.
