• diṣṭyā — by good fortune
  Instrumental of diṣṭi (good fortune, divine destiny). A standard Bhāgavatam exclamation of joyful astonishment at the Lord's intervention. Gauḍīyas note: diṣṭyā credits not luck but Bhagavān's daiva-saṁvidhāna — His arrangement masquerading as fortune.
• kṛcchrāt durantāt — from endless difficulty
  Compound and adjective: kṛcchra (hardship) + duranta (endless, lit. 'whose end is hard to find'). The Yādavas' suffering under Kaṁsa was not local — it was a generational siege. The verse names the scope precisely.
• samedhitam — made to prosper
  Past participle of sam + √edh (to flourish). Kṛṣṇa does not merely rescue; He causes the rescued line to flourish. Bhakti is not survival; it is samedhana, increase.
• sa-anugaḥ — together with his followers
  Compound: sa (with) + anuga (follower). Kaṁsa did not fall alone; his retinue fell with him. Evil rarely operates solo, and the Lord's response is correspondingly comprehensive.

• What specific past mercy of Kṛṣṇa could open your next conversation with Him?
• Where do you begin too abstractly?

After a great fire, the householder counts the rooms still standing and credits the one who put it out. Akrūra opens his prayer by naming Kaṁsa's death — not as politics, but as the moment the Yādava lineage stopped being smothered. Gratitude before theology.
