Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.89.41
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
dhik
—
fie! shame!
Indeclinable particle of contempt. Repeated three times in the verse — the maximum śāstric expression of disgust. The Bhāgavatam allows full venting because the moment requires it.
-
ātma-ślāghinaḥ
—
of the self-praiser
Compound: ātma (self) + ślāgha (boasting). The pejorative for the proud. Gauḍīyas note that the chapter is performing a public surgery on Arjuna's ātma-ślāgha so that verse 62's correction can be unforced.
-
daiva-upasṛṣṭam
—
that which has been taken away by destiny
Compound: daiva (fate) + upasṛṣṭa (drawn off). The brāhmaṇa attributes the loss to daiva — an attribution the chapter will overrule by revealing the agent is not daiva but Bhagavān Himself.
-
mauḍhyāt
—
out of foolishness
Ablative of mūḍhya. The brāhmaṇa's diagnosis of Arjuna's promise. The Bhāgavatam will recover the word in a higher register: Arjuna's 'foolishness' was forgetting that his strength is Kṛṣṇa's.
He foolishly thought he could bring back a person who was killed by prārabdha-karma or the will of the Lord. Not only was he foolish but had bad intelligence since he claimed he was better than Balarāma and Kṛṣṇa.
He curses Arjuna’s attempts, since they were unsuccessful. Arjuna made false statements, because he could not protect the child. Arjuna, boasting, foolishly thought he could bring back a person who was killed by prārabdha-karma or the will of the Lord. Not only was he foolish but had bad intelligence since he claimed he was better than Balarāma and Kṛṣṇa.
- What unfair-but-accurate critique have I received in someone's grief?
- Where could I listen for truth inside someone's unfair anger toward me?
The insults intensify — 'To hell with Arjuna! To hell with his bow!' The Bhāgavatam preserves the harshness because the kṣatriya's honor must be visibly destroyed before it can be relocated. Arjuna's bow, which had been his identity in verse 32, is now being publicly cursed in Kṛṣṇa's presence.
