Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Others also, such as Niśaṭha, Ulmuka, Sahasrajit, Śatajit and Bhānu, confronted and killed one another, blinded by intoxication and thus completely bewildered by Mukunda. They became blinded by the intoxication. Or andhakāra can be combined with the suffix itaḥ to form andhakaritaḥ, “produced in darkness,” similar to words like tāritaḥ, “produced with stars.”
Others — Niśaṭha, Ulmuka, Sahasrajit, Śatajit, Bhānu — also killed each other, blinded by intoxication, bewildered by the Lord Himself. The Lord is the unseen agent of their collapse.
Reflection Questions
  • Where might the Lord be the unseen agent in a collapse I am grieving?
  • How does this reframe the grief?
