tena vai premasaṃbaddho viṣayī yaḥ śivaḥ sa tu | rādheśaṃ rādhikārūpaṃ svayaṃ saccitsukhātmakam || 28 ||

FAQs
It teaches that divine love (prema) transforms even one associated with worldly domains into a knower of the Supreme—recognizing Rādheśa (Radha-Krishna principle) as the very Self whose nature is sat-cit-ānanda (existence-consciousness-bliss).
Bhakti is shown as a binding force—prema-saṃbandha—through which identity and realization occur: devotion is not merely worship but a transformative union that culminates in direct insight into the Lord’s true nature.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; the takeaway is doctrinal—using the Upaniṣadic framework of sat-cit-ānanda to articulate devotional realization.
