Atha Sri-Radhaya Upasyah - Sri Radha's object of worship

Radha-Krsna Ganoddesa Dipika, Sri Rupa Goswamipad, verse 182:

upAsyo jagatAM cakSur
bhagavAn padma-bAndhavaH
japyaH svAbhISTa-saMsargI
kRSNa-nAma mahAmanuH

The Sun God, who is the eye of the world and the friend of the lotus, is the worshipable deity of Sri Radha. The holy name of Sri Krsna is Radha's favorite and worshipable mantra.

(Can any of our Sanskritists explain "saMsargI"? It is used in the sense of purification, unification...?)

kRSNa-nAma mahAmanuH ?

This is new to me. Perhaps I need to read more...

We could translate the word saMsargI as associated with/in conjunction with/related to svAbhISTa ones own desired.

Anything is possible here! Although the covers of the RasBihari books are getting better and better...
