Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.65.30
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
vyamuñcat
—
released
Imperfect of vi-√muc (to release, liberate). Same root that names mokṣa. Bhagavān releases Yamunā — Gauḍīyas note that this very verb supplies the doctrinal vocabulary for liberation in general.
-
yācitaḥ
—
begged
Past participle of √yāc (to beg). Bhagavān responds to begging. Gauḍīya doctrine: yācana — the prayer of need — is itself a form of bhakti; Bhagavān is structurally responsive to it.
-
vijagāha
—
He submerged Himself
Perfect of vi-√gāh (to plunge into). The same Yamunā that He had just threatened He now enters — and the river holds Him. Gauḍīyas read this as the model for guru-correction: the corrected becomes the host.
-
strībhiḥ
—
with the women
Instrumental plural of strī. The gopīs accompany Him into the water — jala-keli, water-play, is a stock līlā in mādhurya literature. Rūpa Gosvāmī treats jala-vihāra as one of the canonical līlā-categories.
-
ibha
—
of elephants
Elephant. Same simile-frame as v. 21 (kareṇu-yūtha) — the Bhāgavatam keeps returning to the gaja imagery for Balarāma's slow, massive grace among the gopīs.
He then released her while consoling her (vy—amuñcat). Śāntiṁ vraja mahābhāge gamyatāṁ ca yathāsukham: O fortunate one, go peacefully as you please. (Hari-vaṁśa) It also implies he had pulled her quite far when freeing her. Vṛndāvanasya madhye tu sā nītā yamunā-nādī: he brought the Yamunā to the middle of Vṛndāvana. (Hari-vaṁśa) Viṣṇu Purāṇa says: sākṛṣṭā sahasā tena mārgaṁ saṁtyajya nimnagā / yatrāste balabhadro 'sau plāvayām āsa tadvanam // He pulled the river suddenly from its path. The river now flows in Vṛndāvana where he made it flow. Balarāma then entered that portion of the river which he had pulled close.
- Where do I hold onto a grudge that God Himself has already released?
- What forgiveness am I withholding that God has already extended?
Once the offender has fallen and prayed and trembled, the king does what the king always meant to do — he goes in the water, the river now still, and plays. Discipline in Vraja exists in order that play may resume. The plow's anger was a brief footnote inside a long afternoon of līlā.
