Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda
(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
Standing aloof at some distance, they brought Śrī Nārada nearby with great care. Then to make him feel at ease, they washed his lotus face that was full of tears, quietly so as not to disturb the sleep of Śrī Bhagavān. By doing so, they began to pacify him from any further anxiety or fuss they may have created.
