Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.74.1
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
prītaḥ
—
pleased, gladdened
From √prī (to delight). Not mere satisfaction at a military outcome — Gauḍīyas read prīti as the affectionate undertone that distinguishes a devotee's hearing of līlā from a strategist's hearing of news. The same root yields prema.
-
anubhāvam
—
the (display of) power
Compound: anu (along, in accordance with) + bhāva (state, manifestation). The visible after-glow of an inner potency. In rasa-śāstra anubhāva names the outward gestures that reveal the inner bhāva — here the slain Jarāsandha is the anubhāva of Kṛṣṇa's bhagavattā.
-
vibhoḥ
—
of the almighty
From √bhū with vi- (all-pervading). Yudhiṣṭhira names Kṛṣṇa vibhu in the same breath as describing one localized act — Gauḍīya signature: the all-pervading Lord and the personal actor are the same person, not two.
-
śrutvā
—
hearing of
Gerund of √śru. The Bhāgavatam's preferred verb for how devotion is transmitted — śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ. Yudhiṣṭhira's response to Kṛṣṇa-līlā begins, like the listener's, with hearing.
In the seventy fourth chapter the brahmanas worship Krsna at the beginning of the sacrifice, Sisupala gets killed and Duryodhana’s pride is injured. Hearing about the killing of Jarasandha and the power of Krsna , the king was pleased and spoke.
On another day Yudhiṣṭhira spoke to Kṛṣṇa. Yudhiṣṭhira is called a king since by the killing of Jarāsandha he could rule without opposition. This is understood later. Because of satisfaction with Bhīma on his killing Jarāsandha, Kṛṣṇa Had manifested four arms (anubhāvam). Yudhiṣṭhira heard of his killing Jarāsandha and Kṛṣṇa’s manifestation of four arms at that time. O master (vibho)! Śukadeva addresses Parīkṣit in this way out of great respect on remembering this mercy of the Lord to Parīkṣit’s ancestors. Another version has vibhoḥ: Yudhiṣṭhira heard about the power of Kṛṣṇa who was his master.
On another day, or after recovering, Yudhiṣṭhira spoke to Kṛṣṇa. Yudhiṣṭhira is called a king since by the killing of Jarāsandha he could rule without opposition. This is understood later. Yudhiṣṭhira heard of the power (anubhāvam) of Kṛṣṇa who attracts the heart, for his killing of Jarāsandha, according to the method described (tat). Or he heard of the indescribable (tat) skill in killing Jarāsandha (anubhāvam) and his greatness in freeing the kings. O master (vibho)! Śukadeva addresses Parīkṣit in this way out of great respect on remembering this mercy of the Lord to Parīkṣit’s ancestors. Or you are most fortunate for being born in this dynasty. Another version has vibhoḥ: Yudhiṣṭhira heard about the power of Kṛṣṇa who was his master or who was Lord of the universe.
- What recent good outcome have I failed to thank the Lord for in words?
- Where does my pleasure at His help still need expression?
Imagine a younger brother bursting into the room after watching his elder hero finish an impossible task — eyes shining, words tumbling out. Yudhiṣṭhira hears of Jarāsandha's fall and turns to Kṛṣṇa not with strategy but with prīti, the unhideable pleasure of a devotee whose Lord has just acted.
