ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« has written an extensive purport to this verse, elaborately analyzing this portion of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes. Just as a man places his valuable gold within fire to reveal its purity, the Lord placed His most beloved devotees, the residents of Vá¹›ndÄvana, in the fire of separation from Him in order to manifest their supreme love. This is the essence of Ä€cÄrya ViÅ›vanÄtha’s comments.
