svarūpa — ‘sūtra-kartā’, raghunātha — ‘vṛttikāra’
tāra bāhulya varṇi — pāṅji-ṭīkā-vyavahāra

svarūpa — Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī; sūtra-kartā — maker of short notes; raghunātha — Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī; vṛtti-kāra — maker of elaborate explanations; tāra — of those; bāhulya — more elaborately; varṇi — I shall describe; pāṅji — fluffing out (as of cotton); ṭīkā — explanation; vyavahāra — behavior.

Svarūpa Dāmodara wrote short notes, whereas Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī wrote elaborate descriptions. I shall now describe Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s activities more elaborately, as if fluffing out compressed cotton.

Pāṅji-ṭīkā means further explanations of a subject. Writing such explanations is likened to the process of fluffing out cotton.
