Mercy Makes Confidential Meaning Accessible
“No one could otherwise understand this meaning. I can therefore guess that previously You bestowed upon him Your causeless mercy.”
What the purport teaches
- Svarūpa Dāmodara said that no one could otherwise understand this meaning.
- He therefore inferred that the Lord had previously bestowed His causeless mercy upon Rūpa Gosvāmī.
- Rūpa Gosvāmī’s understanding was thus recognized as evidence of the Lord’s mercy.
