"Shree-Subodhini": Sama-Buddhi and Prema Lakshana Bhakti...

The further explanation of Shuddha-Adwaita-Siddhanta by OM VishnuPad VallabhAcharya (Verse 3.24.47 of "Shreemad Bhagavatam"). If you look into Sanskrit Text of Shree Vallabha MahAcharya, you will notice, that He uses expressions "BrahmaRasaSprshta" ("touched by BrahmaRasa") and "PremaLakshana Bhaktirutpanna", so the overall Tika to The Verse is actually Rasika!

इच्छा-द्वेष-विहीनेन सर्वत्र सम-चेतसा
भगवद्-भक्ति-युक्तेन प्राप्ता भागवती गतिः

TRANSLATION: “In this way, Sage Kardama became bereft of all types of desires and malice! He got the intellect, which saw everywhere and everything as “same” (Sama Buddhi). He got blessed by our Lord, with
the “wealth” of the highest Bhakthi to Him! With our Lord’s grace and will, he attained our Lord’s Holy Abode!”

TIKA BY OM VISHNUPAD VALLABHACHARYA ("SHREE SUBODHINI"): The devotee, who has touched the bliss of Brahman, gets relieved of all types of “worldly” attachments/desires, as his attachment to desires or his attitude of “malice” goes away totally! 

He becomes bereft of all types of “likes or dislikes”, towards all objects and their pleasures! He remains calm and undisturbed at every situation! 

Usually, when the mind is affected by any type of “blemish” (dosham), then only, disturbance is caused in the mind, through being affected by the objects and their pleasures! In this absence of any “blemish” in the mind, both “likes and dislikes” get destroyed! 
A mind, which has been filled up, with the bliss of Brahman, sees that only Brahman is present and established in everything and everyone! Due to this, he accepts everything as ‘Brahman’ and behaves accordingly. 
He does not get the previous mental attitudes of “likes and dislikes”! 

After attaining this highest status, as seeing and experiencing “Brahman”, Sage Kardama attained the most valuable and rare “Bhakthi” to our Lord. 

He realized the glory of our Lord — as He is! (as told by our Lord, in the Gita) and got love and devotion to our Lord. He attained both “Jnana” and “Bhakthi”. 

On the rise of these two virtues, he got the “Gati” (result) which is blessed by our Lord only i.e. He went in the same way of our Lord — to attain our Lord! 

He attained “Bhagawad Gati” i.e. oneness with him - Bhagawati Gatihi! 

He attained our Lord’s holy abode!
