Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.42.32
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
vyuṣṭāyām-niśi
—
the night having passed
Contiguous: vyuṣṭāyām (locative absolute of vy-uṣṭa, dispelled) + niśi (in the night). The Bhāgavata's narrative pivot. Gauḍīya note: the night of bad omens ends; the day of Kaṁsa's death begins.
-
kauravya
—
O descendant of Kuru (Parīkṣit)
From Kuru-vaṁśa. Śuka addresses his royal listener. Gauḍīya: the verse momentarily breaks the fourth wall — Śuka is reminding Parīkṣit, who is also days from his own death, that day always follows night, life always follows even the worst omens, for the soul taking shelter.
-
sūrye
—
the sun (locative)
Locative absolute with samutthite. Sūrya rises. Bhāgavata's daily-cycle motif. Gauḍīya: every sunrise is Bhagavān's līlā-curtain; even Kaṁsa's last sunrise is set by Him.
-
kārayām āsa
—
had carried out
Periphrastic perfect causative of √kṛ. He caused the arrangements. Gauḍīya note: Kaṁsa thinks he is the doer; Bhāgavata's verb is technically causative but the deeper karma-tantra makes him only an instrument of Bhagavān's prior arrangement.
-
malla-krīḍā
—
the wrestling-sport
Contiguous compound: malla (wrestler) + krīḍā (sport). The verse names the day's frame as krīḍā — sport. Gauḍīya pun: Kaṁsa thinks he is staging a fight; Kṛṣṇa will turn it into His own krīḍā.
"When the night broke and the sun rose from the water" refers to a vedic verse. "May the red eyed, most excellent, omniscient sun, rising up from the great ocean, purify the universe."
When the night passed, and dawn appeared (vyuṣṭāyām), and the sun rose from the sea, visible to those on the shore, it was also visible to those in Mathurā. This indicates that very quickly the morning appeared. He prepared for the great festival of wrestling, preparing for his own death. Amazed at such foolishness, Śukadeva calls out to Parīkṣit.
When the sun completely rose, Kaṁsa began arranging for the festival, because daylight was best for making arrangements, because he had been lost in thought, or because he was delaying. The wrestling was joyous since it was a method of killing his enemies. He made the festival in order to have the wrestling match. Vai means well known. It was actually a method of getting himself killed. Amazed at such foolishness of persons like Duryodhana, Śukadeva calls out to Parīkṣit (kauravya).
A condemned man, hands trembling, oversees the construction of his own scaffold and calls it a festival. Kaṁsa arranges the wrestling-spectacle in which his death has been pre-scheduled. Even the asura's stagecraft is recruited into Bhagavān's līlā.
