Important Words
-
patnyaḥ
—
the wives
Plural of patnī. Nagnajit's queens. Gauḍīya: family bhakti is not solo; the patnīs share in the rasa of receiving Kṛṣṇa, as Kuntī shared in verses 7–10. Women carry the household's devotion forward.
-
labdhvā
—
obtaining
Absolutive of √labh — having obtained. Gauḍīya: Kṛṣṇa is labhya (obtainable) only by bhakti; the Bhāgavatam carefully says the household obtained Him — not He them. The asymmetry of grace is preserved.
-
parama - ānandam
—
the greatest ecstasy
Compound parama (supreme) + ānanda (bliss). The same ānanda Bhagavān is full of (verse 38). Gauḍīya: by receiving Kṛṣṇa, the household receives a share in His own ātma-ānanda.
-
parama - utsavaḥ
—
great festival
Compound parama + utsava — supreme festival. Festivals are how rasa is shared with the city. Gauḍīya: every kṛṣṇa-arrival becomes utsava; the Caitanya-tradition's nāma-saṅkīrtana-utsavas inherit this grammar directly.
The King’s wives felt the greatest ecstasy upon attaining Lord Kṛṣṇa as the dear husband of the royal princess, and a mood of great festivity arose.

Translation
The King's wives felt the greatest ecstasy upon attaining Lord Kṛṣṇa as the dear husband of the royal princess, and a mood of great festivity arose.
Jīva Gosvāmī
Gauḍīya
Commentary
The king’s wives felt the highest bliss when their daughter obtained her desired (priyam) husband. Therefore a huge festival took place.

Personal Guidance
The King's wives feel the greatest ecstasy at having the Lord as husband to their princess, and a mood of great festivity arises. Mothers' ecstasy frames the wedding; women's joy is named as central.
Reflection Questions
- Where do you center women's joy in your celebrations?
- How does mothers' delight shape what the union becomes?
Analogy
When a great son-in-law is gained, the household's women are the first to flower into festival — they hold the household's secret weather, and bhakti pours through them first. Nagnajit's queens' ecstasy is the home's full-bloom moment.
