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)
Here, he stretched out His lotus hand. Specifically He stretched out the right hand, because benedictions are only from the right side of the lotus hand. Therefore, 艢谤墨 骋辞辫墨苍腻迟丑补 stretched out the right hand in a benedictory gesture to give those boons directly according to the request of 艢谤墨 狈腻谤补诲补. The above-mentioned two benedictions are most pleasing; they are befitting the desire of 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, rather to obtain 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 according to the same sentiments as the 驳辞辫墨蝉 who worship 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 through their superabundance of prema. 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, being addressed as 驳辞辫墨苍腻迟丑补, indicates that 艢谤墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 finds the loving worship of the 驳辞辫墨蝉 to be so pleasing.
