Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Sanātana Gosvāmī concluded that staying there would bring him nothing auspicious.
He asked the Lord for orders allowing him to return to Vṛndāvana.
He proposed leaving after the Ratha-yātrā festival, seeking permission rather than simply announcing his departure.
Despair met with care. Sanātana’s wish to die is interrupted by the Lord’s protective insistence on his future service.
