Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.75.27
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
hari-dāsasya
—
of the servant of Lord Hari
Compound: hari (Kṛṣṇa) + dāsa (servant). Yudhiṣṭhira's deepest identity. He is not 'emperor'; he is 'servant of Hari.' Gauḍīyas read this as the chapter's nominal — the rest of the titles are decoration around this one.
-
rāja-ṛṣeḥ
—
of the saintly King
Compound: rāja (king) + ṛṣi (sage). The kṣatriya-ṛṣi — the rare type who unites kingship and inner sight. Bhīṣma, Janaka, Yudhiṣṭhira: this is their class.
-
atṛpyan
—
they were satiated (with na: never satiated)
Imperfect of √tṛp (to be satisfied), governed by 'na' in the verse. The signature Gauḍīya marker for kṛṣṇa-kathā: nityā-nava (ever-fresh). What satisfies always also produces fresh hunger.
-
piban-martyaḥ-amṛtam
—
as a mortal drinks immortal nectar
The simile is exact: hari-kathā is to ordinary speech what amṛta is to ordinary drink. Mortals can taste it. Gauḍīyas note: the comparison is not poetic — the Bhāgavatam itself is called amṛta (1.1.3).
Hari means Kṛṣṇa who removes all faults, and who is attractive with his qualities and form. Yudhiṣṭhira was a servant of Kṛṣṇa, a king and a sage having all knowledge. The rājasūya was endowed with all qualities completely (mahodayam). Everyone praised it but could not be fully satisfied. This means they continually praised it. A human who is subject to death and who continually suffers may get a chance to drink nectar, which gives supreme bliss and takes away all suffering including death. He cannot be fully satisfied. Everyone there was in a similar state.
- Where has my praise of Kṛṣṇa grown tired when it could keep deepening?
- What aspect of His action could refresh my appreciation?
When you drink the right water, you forget thirst is a category. The departing guests speak of the Rājasūya the way Sukadeva speaks of Vraja — never finished, never repeated identically, never closed. Glorification of bhakti has the structure of amṛta, not of food.
