Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁玨膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da
(By 艢r墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
One should not assume that I am speaking such glories of the residents of Vraja subjugated by prema, because the sister of 顿丑补谤尘补谤腻箩补 (Yamar膩ja), the most pious 艢r墨 驰补尘耻苍腻, is evidence for this. I have also explained before that I immersed myself in these most wonderful and attractive pastimes so much so that I did not even know day from night. You should ask this 碍腻濒颈苍诲墨 if this is true or not. This is so because she has had the direct audience (辫谤补迟测补办峁 诲补谤艣补苍补) of the various indescribable pastimes or freely enjoyable sports. Rather, she is the witness of My various types of spontaneous pastimes.
