अहो ब्रह्मादि-दुष्प्राप्ये ऐश्वर्ये सत्य् अपीदृशे ।
तत् सर्वं सुखम् अप्य् आत्म्यम् अनादृत्यावधूतवत् ॥ २८ ॥
भावाविष्टः सदा विष्णोर् महोन्माद-गृहीतवत् ।
कोऽन्यः पत्न्या समं नृत्येद् गणैर् अपि दिगम्बरः ॥ २९ ॥
दृष्टोऽद्य भगवद्-भक्ति-लाम्पट्य-महिमाद्भुतः ।
तद् भवान् एव कृष्णस्य नित्यं परम-वल्लभः ॥ ३० ॥
आः किं वाच्यानवच् छिन्ना कृष्णस्य प्रियता त्वयि ।
त्वत्-प्रसादेन बहवोऽन्येऽपि तत्-प्रियतां गताः ॥ ३१ ॥

tat sarvaṃ sukham apy ātmyam anādṛtyāvadhūtavat || 28 ||
bhāvāviṣṭaḥ sadā viṣṇor mahonmāda-gṛhītavat |

O you are replete with opulence not even obtainable by demigods such as Brahmā, yet you disregard the pleasure of that opulence and remain naked like an avadhūta. You always remain absorbed, intoxicated with prema for Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

Who else could dance in the midst of his wife and associates with such divine ecstacy? Today, I have seen the glories of your wonderful devotion to Śrī Bhagavān. Therefore, you alone are the dearmost object of mercy of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Oh, love of Śrī Kṛṣṇa is present in you in an uninterrupted mood! What more can I say about it? You are the dearmost devotee of Śrī Kṛṣṇa; therefore, many other people have received śrī-kṛṣṇa-prema by your mercy.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

In this way, Śrī Nārada indicates to Śrī Śiva the symptoms of being the recipient of the topmost mercy of Śrī Bhagavān, thus concluding his proposed topic. "Alas, despite having obtained opulences unobtainable for even Brahmā, you do not esteem the happiness of those opulences, but always remain absorbed in viṣṇubhakti like an avadhūta. Like a passionate, maddened naked person who abandons even public standards of social etiquette, you freely dance with your wife and associates. Therefore, today I directly experienced the glories of your wonderful devotion to Bhagavān.

The import of saying mahimādbhutaḥ is that your devotional glories induced a thrill in my heart. Furthermore, apart from being mahā-yogīśvara (the great master of yogīs) and ātmārāma-śiromaṇi (the crest jewel of the self-satisfied), you are Śrī Pārvatī-Ramaṇa who dances and sings with Śrī Pārvatī in front of everyone. In comparison to this, what more wonderful aesthetic quality can there be? Therefore, that unconditional love for Śrī Kṛṣṇa is present in you. What more can one say about it? You are the recipient of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s mercy. Therefore by your mercy many souls such as the Ten Pracetās obtained the wealth of love of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
