Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.41.40
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
vāyakaḥ
—
a weaver
Nominative of vāyaka — weaver. The rajaka refused; the vāyaka offers without being asked. Gauḍīyas read the three Mathurā craftsmen of this chapter (rajaka, vāyaka, mālā-kāra) as a graded ladder: hostile, devotional, surrendered.
-
prītaḥ
—
affectionate
Past participle of √prī. The same word that named the villagers (verse 7) and will name Sudāmā (verse 49). Prīti is the chapter's connective fluid — wherever it flows toward Kṛṣṇa, the verse turns toward mercy.
-
akalpayat
—
arranged
Imperfect of √kḷp (causative) — to arrange, to make fit. The same verb used for cosmic-ordering in Bhāgavatam philosophical passages. The weaver, in miniature, performs a cosmos-fitting act: ornamenting the Person around whom the cosmos is ordered.
-
anurūpataḥ
—
suitably
Compound: anu + rūpa + tas — according to the form. The weaver's ornamentation 'follows the form' of the Lord. Gauḍīyas: bhakti is the only sevā that fits the form of its object; everything else distorts the contour.
Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī explains that the weaver adorned the Lords with cloth armlets and earrings that looked just like jewels. The word anurūpataḥ indicates that the colors matched nicely.
The vayakah is one who weaves using bamboo. He dressed Krsna and Balarama in soft silk cloth of gold color embedded with jewels and ornaments, suitable for wresters who after massaging their bodies, dress them in soft cloth.
Having punished the wicked in order to give joy to the righteous, Kṛṣṇa then showed mercy to the righteous. First he gave mercy to the weaver. After the killing of the washer man and putting on the clothes, a weaver, showing affection, made ornaments like bracelets and earrings for the two boys out of gems, gold and cloth of various colors, brought from his house. Where did they put their jewels they were already wearing? Why did he give cloth ornaments? These ornaments were suitable (anurūpataḥ) for his wrestling pastimes in which his limbs would be pressed. And the ornaments were suitable for each of them.
The weaver, watching the brothers stand in fresh cloth, sees what is missing — the ornamentation. Without being asked, his hands fit decorations of color around them. Sevā that anticipates the Lord's wish, before the request is voiced, is the higher rung.
