Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.59.12
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
tāmraḥ antarikṣaḥ śravaṇaḥ vibhāvasuḥ
—
Tāmra, Antarikṣa, Śravaṇa, Vibhāvasu
Four of Mura's seven sons. The Bhāgavatam names them individually — Gauḍīyas read this as Kṛṣṇa's accounting: even the demon-soldiers He liberates by violence receive the dignity of being named.
-
pīṭham
—
Pīṭha (Bhauma's general)
Pīṭha = 'seat, throne'. The general's name encodes his role — he is the seat from which Bhauma's command flows on the battlefield.
-
camū - patim
—
commander of the army
Compound: camū (army) + pati (lord). Standard term in epic combat — every army has its camū-pati who must fall before the king becomes accessible.
-
bhauma
—
Bhauma (Narakāsura)
Recurs through the chapter; the principal antagonist named again to keep the reader oriented as the supporting cast multiplies.
They went out (niragan) holding their weapons.
This verse reinforces the last verse. Saptamaḥ indicates that there were no other brothers, only seven. They are individually named to indicate their qualities. They wanted to take revenge by their nature, but were also ordered to fight by Bhauma, who was eager to do this. In doing this he shows that he thought the Lord was insignificant.
This verse reinforces the last verse. Saptamaḥ indicates that there were no other brothers, only seven. Pītha was in front because he was the general. They were engaged by Bhauma, going with Pīṭha. They held weapons. Otherwise, overcome with grief, losing all power of discrimination, they could leave the battle, ignoring everyone. Or naturally anger to take revenge, engaged by Bhauma, holding their weapons, with Pīṭha in front, they left the city to fight, or to the field (mṛdhe).
- Could you list the specific names of recurring opponents in your inner life?
- How does enumeration sharpen response?
When the captain falls, the lieutenants reorganize around a single banner — Pīṭha takes the front, the seven brothers fall in line, each named like a constellation. It is a parade of names heading to silence; Bhagavān will collect them by the end of the next verse.
