Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.58.26
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
agniḥ
—
Lord Agni
The god of fire. In Vedic theology, Agni is hotṛ — the priest who carries offerings to the gods. Here he is the recipient; the roles flip because Kṛṣṇa has redrawn the scene. Gauḍīya: Bhagavān reorders even cosmic functions.
-
akṣayau - tūṇau
—
inexhaustible quivers
Plural — two quivers that never empty. The same word akṣaya from verse 13–14. Gauḍīya: instruments touched by Kṛṣṇa's līlā become akṣaya; depletion is a feature of māyā alone.
-
varma
—
armor
Protective gear. Agni's gift answers what the warrior body needs. Gauḍīyas read armor here as the visible symbol of Kṛṣṇa's protection — the bhakta wrapped in invulnerability when Bhagavān is satisfied.
-
śvetān
—
white
White horses — a Vedic mark of supreme purity (cf. Aśvamedha). Arjuna's chariot now carries the colours of yajña itself, gift of the very fire he satisfied.
Agni also gave Kṛṣṇa the cakra. Because that is well known for other sources, it is not mentioned here. Satisfied with devouring the forest, Agni gave Arjuna the bow. O king! Śukadeva expresses his joy that Parīkṣit’s grandfather had obtained the bow.
Having devoured the Khāṇdava forest (saḥ) Agni gave to Arjuna a white chariot along with white horses.. The chariot was white since it was decorated with many pearl garlands and the white flag of Hanumān. O king! Śukadeva shouts in joy at the attainments of Parīkṣit’s grandfather.
- What 'impenetrable armor' might be available through aligned service?
- Where do you under-receive because you under-serve?
When fire is properly served, fire returns gifts that fire alone can give — and the gifts come to the one whose strength fed it. Agni's tribute to Arjuna is rasa keeping its accounts straight.
