Vishnu Sahasranama verse 60, Bhagavaan Bhagaha Nandi (Gaudiya interpretation)

Verse 60:

Bhagavān Bhagahā Nandī Vanamālī Halāyudhaḥ
Ādityo Jyotirādityaḥ Sahiṣṇur Gatisattamaḥ ||60||

He is Bhagavān—the possessor of all opulences, and Bhagahā—the one who can withdraw them at will.
Though all divine qualities and powers (vibhūtis) emanate from Him, He retains the freedom to reclaim them, especially at the time of pralaya or cosmic dissolution.
By His inherent nature, He is Ānandī—always blissful, because He is full of bhaga, the six-fold opulences.
This bhaga is intrinsic to Him and never diminishes; instead, it constantly flows back into Him, signifying no loss whatsoever.
He is Nandī because He is in a perpetual state of bliss, and to access this bliss, one must associate with and serve the Ānandī—the ever-blissful Lord.
This bliss is maintained by constantly remaining in service (sewa) to the son of Nandagopa—Śrī Krishna.
The idea that this verse refers to the son of Nandagopa is supported by Bhīṣmadeva's following words in the Mahābhārata.
He is Vanamālī, adorned with garlands made of forest flowers, signifying the rustic sweetness of Vṛndāvana.
He is accompanied by Halāyudha—Lord Balarāma, which further reinforces the Vṛndāvana identity of Krishna.
Though He is the Supreme Lord, full of aiśvarya (majestic opulence), He conceals this majesty and becomes Nandī—the simple, playful cowherd boy.
Wearing a garland of wildflowers, He engages in joyous pastimes with Balarāma, leaving behind royal grandeur.
The term Bhagahā here points to the unique manifestation of mādhurya (sweetness) in Vṛndāvana, as opposed to aiśvarya.
This Gati Sattamaḥ—the best of all goals—is none other than Nandagopa’s son, the ultimate refuge for all beings.
He is Sahiṣṇu—supremely tolerant, and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu emphasized, "tṛṇād api sunīcena taror api sahiṣṇunā".
This tolerance is essential to attain Krishna of Vṛndāvana; it is not just optional but foundational.
One may attain Vaikuṇṭha’s Krishna through lesser austerities, but mādhuryamayi bhakti demands the deepest tolerance.
It is through selfless service to all living beings, while tolerating their diverse natures, that one can attain the Vṛndāvana Lord.
Nāndī also refers to how Krishna is most joyful in the company of Śrī Rādhā, who is the embodiment of Bhaga.
Thus, Bhagahā can also be interpreted as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who accepted the kānti (lustre) of the supremely fortunate Rādhā.
He is the divine chora—the one who lovingly steals Her kānti, and thus becomes the Bhagahā in another intimate sense.

Summary:
This verse glorifies Krishna as the blissful and all-opulent Lord who conceals His majesty to reveal sweetness.
He is the goal of all souls and is accessed through service and deep tolerance.
His identity as the son of Nandagopa and consort of Rādhā is confirmed through symbols like Vanamālī and Halāyudha.
In Śrī Caitanya, this sweetness manifests again, making Him the living embodiment of Bhagahā.
