Answer by Swami Gaurangapada:

 

This is the same Mantra as the ten-syllable Mantra received by Lord Gauranga at the time of initiation from Shrila Ishvara Puri Mahashaya: gopijana-vallabhaya svaha.

 

visesato darshano 'yam japa-matrena siddhida is not the Mantra but a description of the Mantra meaning that by chanting this Mantra in japa, one gets the specific perfection of seeing the Lord face to face.
