viläsasya yathä-mati

öékä dig-darçiné näma

tad-ekäàçärtha-bodhiné
This commentary, which bears the name Dig-darçiné öéka' (A Commentary That Shows the Direction), and which explains a small portion of the Hari-bhakti-viläsa, has been written as far as I am able.

As I begin the difficult task of writing this book, in order to attain a good result I first take shelter of my parama-guru, my worshipable Deity, Lord Caitanya. The name Caitanya means the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the form of pure knowledge (cit), who is worshiped by all the universes, and who among all Deities has the most perfect transcendental knowledge. Or, another meaning of the name Caitanya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who stays in everyone's heart (citta). Or, another meaning of the name Caitanya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who gives life (cetanä, to all living entities. I take shelter of Him, Lord Caitanya, the master of my life.

Why do I write this book? I write to describe the activities that should be performed by the saintly devotees of Lord Viñëu. Why else do I write? I write to please them.

Someone may ask: How can a fallen person like you be successful in such a task? I reply: I shall be successful because I take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who has all powers and opulences, who has a great host of virtues, beginning with His great mercy, and who Çrémad-Bhägavatam 1.3.28 reveals is Lord Kåñëa. In this way three parts of this verse are explained. By taking shelter of Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu I will be successful in this task. That is the meaning here.

Furthermore, it is by His power, by His order, and by His glory that I am engaged in this task. I do not write by my own wish. I do not write to glorify myself.

In my opinion the perfect name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu. By taking shelter of His mercy this book is not at all difficult to write. Indeed, everything is done very easily. That is the meaning.

Here someone may object: All these things have already been described in the Vedas, Småti, Puräëas, Agamas, and other scriptures. Why should you write something more? To this I reply: I will gather quotes from all the scriptures and put each quote in its appropriate place. That is how I will write this book.

May the devotees of the Lord carefully study this Hari-bhakti-viläsa, which has come from a person who enjoys splendid pastimes of love and devotion for the lotus feet of Mathurä's master.
Commentary by Çréla Sanätana Gosvämé
The compound word mathurä-nätha-pädäbja-prema-bhakti-viläsataù may mean either "the book Hari-bhakti-viläsa has come from the playful happiness of Çréla Gopäla Bhaööa Gosvämé, who is filled with love and devotion for Mathurä's master," or "the book Hari-bhakti-viläsa has come from Çréla Gopäla Bhaööa Gosvämé, who who enjoys splendid pastimes of love and devotion for the lotus feet of Mathurä's master."

The devotees here are like bumblebees at the lotus feet of Mathurä's master. If the alternate reading "çobhayantu" is accepted, then the text reads, "the devotees of the Lord are glorious because they are faultless and because they always hear and chant the glories of the Lord." If the reading alaìkurvantu is accepted, then the text reads, "the devotees of the Lord are decorated with all virtues, beginning with humbleness."

Commentary by Çréla Sanätana Gosvämé
Tasting the nectar of devotional service to the lotus feet of Mathurä's master, the the devotees happily live in the land of Mathurä. In Çré Gopäla-täpani' Upaniñad, Våndävana is called "the forest of Lord Kåñëa". In that forest the devotees happily enjoy pastimes of hearing and chanting Lord Kåñëa's glories. The word sa-lokanäthaù (with Lokanätha, indicates the close friendship between Kåñëadäsa Kaviräja and Lokanätha Gosvämé. It was in the company of the devotees mentioned here that this book was written.
