• guptam — guarded
  Past participle of √gup — to protect. The bow is heavily guarded. Gauḍīya: guarding what Bhagavān has decided to take is the asuric posture — Kaṁsa exemplifies it across the canto.
• arcitam — being worshiped
  Past participle of √arc. The bow is ritually worshiped by Kaṁsa's men. Gauḍīya commentary: this is misdirected pūjā — energy spent on weapons instead of on the Lord. The Bhāgavata silently contrasts this arcana with the merchants' upāyana of verse 13.
• vāryamāṇaḥ — warded off
  Present passive participle of √vṛ — to obstruct. Many tried to stop Him. The Bhāgavata insists on this obstruction so that the breaking is doubly impressive — He acted not in unguarded space but against active resistance.
• prasahya — by force, overpowering
  Absolutive of pra + √sah — to bear, to overcome. Kṛṣṇa does not slip past the guards; He overrides them. Gauḍīya note: the same Lord who is bound by Yaśodā's rope here forces His way through a king's guard — līlā holds both possibilities simultaneously.
• ādade — He took up, picked up
  Perfect of ā + √dā. The act of lifting the bow. Gauḍīya parallel: the same root that gives ādāna for Rāma's lifting of Śiva's bow (Sītā-svayaṁvara) — the Bhāgavata is quietly aligning Kṛṣṇa's act with Rāma's.

• Where do you politely defer when the Lord would simply pick up what He came for?
• What in your life are you guarding that He may already be walking toward?

Palace guards form a ring around the royal weapon; a country boy walks through them as though they were tall grass. Kaṁsa's elaborate defenses become, against Kṛṣṇa, a child's stick-fence — not because the guards are weak, but because the world's barriers are not the kind that hold Bhagavān.
