Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.25.31
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
tuṣṭuvuḥ
—
they recited (His) praises
Perfect of √stu. Stuti — formal praise. The same verb used of the Vedas (e.g. Puruṣa-sūkta). Upper devatās perform stuti as the necessary correction of Indra's earlier abuse — the divine cosmos rebalances around Kṛṣṇa.
-
puṣpa - varṣāṇi
—
showers of flowers
puṣpa (flower) + varṣa (rain). The line plays with varṣa — the same word that named Indra's downpour. Rain has changed substance. Gauḍīya tone: Bhagavān does not destroy the offender's elements; He transforms them.
-
tuṣṭāḥ
—
being satisfied
From √tuṣ — to be pleased. Tuṣṭi is a recurring Bhāgavata word — the devotee's natural state in Kṛṣṇa's presence. The upper devatās fall briefly into the same condition as Vraja, sharing one rasa across worlds.
-
siddhāḥ
—
the Siddhas
From √sidh — accomplished beings. A class of celestial perfections. Their inclusion specifies the breadth of recognition: even the perfected upper-region yogīs join the gopa-village's praise. The līlā has reordered svarga.
The demigods in heaven were just as jubilant as the residents of Vṛndāvana, and thus a great universal festival took place.
Just as the inhabitants of Vraja were full of bliss, so the devatas were also overjoyed. That is described in this verse.
Not only the people of Vraja became joyful, but the inhabitants of heaven also celebrated. This is described in two verses. “Since Indra suffered broken pride, why did they act in this way?” They were satisfied and joyful by seeing the sweet pastime of Kṛṣṇa and the destruction of Indra’s pride, which made him commit a criminal act. Or, Śukadeva calls out to Parīkṣit in astonishment, since the devatās rejoiced even though their king had suffered. Or, just as one properly ignores the governor in deference to the king, so the devatās properly ignored Indra in deference to the Supreme Lord. O Parīkṣit, this is known to you. It should be understood that Indra was not angry by having his pride destroyed.
- Which of my recent celebrations could I picture as also celebrated in heaven?
- Where am I treating earthly joy as the upper limit instead of as one floor of the building?
Above the seven-day vigil the upper-region devatās drop their flowers — Siddhas, Sādhyas, Gandharvas, Cāraṇas. The same heavens that hosted Indra's clouds now release a different precipitation. Rain has been replaced by puṣpa-vṛṣṭi: the sky cannot help becoming a worshipper.
