किं बहुना, सर्वत्रैव सहृदयैः सर्व एवावगन्तव्यः ।

kiṁ bahunā, sarvatraiva sahṛdayaiḥ sarva evāvagantavyaḥ |
(Prīti Sandarbha: 158)

“What is the use of more [illustrations of the excellence of Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s manifestations and līlās in Śrī Vṛndāvana]? Verily in all cases, everything is to be [alt., can be] understood by sahṛdayas [i.e., rasikas, lit., ‘those with heart’].”

Commentary

A capable sahṛdaya can experience the excellence of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s manifestations and līlās in Vṛndāvana directly for themself. Moreover, only a capable sahṛdaya can do so. Therefore, elaborate discussion for the purpose of establishing the excellence of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s manifestations and līlās in Vṛndāvana is unnecessary regardless of whether a given reader is a sahṛdaya or not. It’s unnecessary if one is a sahṛdaya because a sahṛdaya can experience it for themself, and it’s unnecessary if they are not, because they can’t actually understand such discussion until they become a capable sahṛdaya anyway.
