Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.61.14
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
kālindyāḥ
—
of Kālindī
Genitive of Kālindī, the personified Yamunā. Gauḍīyas treasure her name — the Yamunā is the river of Vraja-līlā, and Kālindī's marriage to Kṛṣṇa keeps that river inside His Dvārakā household.
-
pūrṇamāsaḥ
—
Pūrṇamāsa
'Full-moon.' Same name later given to the elder gopī Paurṇamāsī in Gauḍīya Vraja-līlā treatises (Vidagdha-mādhava). The Bhāgavata seeds the Vraja-vocabulary even in the Dvārakā-canto.
-
śāntiḥ
—
Śānti
'Peace.' The first of the five primary rasas in Rūpa Gosvāmī's analysis. A son named Śānti among Kālindī's children fits the river-mother's contemplative tone.
-
darśaḥ
—
Darśa
'New-moon day.' Darśa and Pūrṇamāsa are the two ritual-day names of the lunar cycle. Naming brothers after the two extremes of the moon is a poetic touch fitting Kālindī's celestial parentage.
-
avaraḥ
—
youngest
From ava + ra, 'lower, later.' Marks Somaka as last-born — the Bhāgavata is meticulous about birth-order, which governs kṣatriya succession.
Among the sons of Kalini, Bhadra was one, and Somaka was the youngest (varah).
Vṛṣa was also the name of one of Nāgnajitī’s sons for some unavoidable reason. Different mothers used the same name for their sons. Vīra was also the name of another of Nāgnajitī’s son. They were both brave warriors.
Ekalaḥ means one and refers to each of the sons.
- What inheritance am I building for my dependents — material wealth or spiritual connection?
- How does proximity to Kṛṣṇa transform an otherwise ordinary biography?
Like the Yamunā giving up her dark waters to flow as a wife into Kṛṣṇa's house, Kālindī yields ten sons whose very names — Śānti, Pūrṇamāsa, Darśa — name the lunar days on which her riverbank still receives śrāddha-offerings.
In SB 10.58, Kṛṣṇa found Kālindī performing austerities on the bank of the Yamunā, having vowed to marry only Him. She was the daughter of the sun-god (and so Yamunā's sister in some readings, the river itself in others). Kṛṣṇa accepted her vow and brought her to Dvārakā in His chariot.
The Vraja-bhāva commentary delights in this: the same Yamunā that received Kṛṣṇa's footprints in Vṛndāvana now receives Him as her own husband — Kālindī is the Yamunā's personal aspect in Dvārakā-līlā.
