(Bṛhad Bhāgavatāmṛta: 1.7.107)
“Submerged in the waves of an ocean of bliss
By the most wonderful of wonderful,
Relishable sports,
I did not notice those nights and days [pass]
Because of the company of those most enchanting people.”
Commentary
Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmīpāda explains in his commentary on this verse that mention of “those” (tāni) nights and days refers to the nights and days Śrī Kṛṣṇa spent in the land of Vraja and that “those most enchanting people” (tat-tan-mahāmohana-loka) refers to the people of blessed Nanda’s Vraja, who are possessed of most ineffable splendor (te te paramānirvacanīya-prabhāvā mahāmohanā ye lokāḥ Śrī-Nanda-Vraja-janāḥ). That the relishable sports (rucira-vihāra) Śrī Kṛṣṇa speaks of are “the most wonderful of wonderful” (citrāticitrai) indicates that they are causes of an abundance of astonishment in the hearts of the world [i.e., all the people present there] (citrebhyo’dbhutebhyo’py ativicitraiḥ jagac-citta-camatkāra-bhara-kāribhir ity arthaḥ).
