ٲ-岹śԲ–from seeing Him; ԲԻ岹-󲹰ṇa–by the influence of bliss; ٱṣām–t𾱰; ṛtⲹ–completely forgetting; śṣām–iԲٰܳپDz; bata–iԻ; ṣa峾–of the associates; DZ–GDZ; he–O; īٲ–my life!; iti–tܲ; īṣṇ–cDzԳپԳܴdzܲ; ś–sdzܳپԲ; –I ran; 貹ṇҲ–to fully embrace.

I was absorbed in the bliss of the Lord’s 岹śԲ and forgot what His associates had instructed me. Thus, loudly shouting over and over again, “O ҴDZ, O my life and soul!� I ran to embrace the Lord.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

Śī Gopa-ܳ says, “I was filled with joy upon seeing Śī 󲹲. Although the Lord’s eternal associates had advised me regarding the special custom of offering prayers and so on in front of Him, forgetting all of their instructions, I ran with outstretched arms towards the Lord to embrace Him.� “How is it you did that?� the 󳾲ṇa might ask.

Gopa-ܳ says, “Eager with intense desire, I repeatedly cried out, ‘O ҴDZ! O my life and soul!� Saying this again and again, I was seized by bewilderment. Actually, by worshiping the Lord with the ten-syllable mantra, one experiences maddening ecstasy which makes one lose all fear and reverence towards one’s worshipable Lord.�
