Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁玨膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da
(By 艢谤墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
鈥淥 艢谤墨 Uddhava, you are the best among refined scholars.鈥� The intent of this address is that you know all the desires of the 惫谤补箩补-惫腻蝉墨蝉. Therefore, what is their desire? Please, tell Me immediately. Just as 艢谤墨 顿别惫补办墨 explained about the 惫谤补箩补-惫腻蝉墨蝉, with the intent of giving what they desired to the 惫谤补箩补-惫腻蝉墨蝉, 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 is asking this question to 艢谤墨 Uddhava. Giving anything else, the fulfillment of the desires of the 惫谤补箩补-惫腻蝉墨蝉 would not happen, so only by 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 going to Vraja would that happen. 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 Himself also knew this. Nevertheless, only after hearing the reasonable words of His 尘补苍迟谤墨-pravara (prime minister), 艢谤墨 Uddhava, would it be correct to go to Vraja. 鈥淚f I do like this then no one will be able to stop me.鈥� With only this intention, He is asking this question. However, the question raised in 艣濒辞办补 68 arose only due to being overwhelmed with distress.
