Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.43.31
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
tūryeṣu
—
as the musical instruments
Tūrya — the wrestling-arena drums and conches. The Bhāgavatam places sound in the air around every major līlā-event; here the drums become the bridge between citizen kīrtana and wrestler challenge.
-
kṛṣṇa-rāmau
—
Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma
Dual compound — the same paired naming as 43.16's baladeva-janārdanau. Mathurā cannot speak of one without the other in this chapter; the two-as-one Bhagavān-tattva is honoured even by Their enemies addressing Them. A contiguous-token join of synonyms 'kṛṣṇa' and 'rāmau'.
-
cānūraḥ
—
the demonic wrestler Cāṇūra
Kaṁsa's chief wrestler — to be killed by Kṛṣṇa in the next chapter (44.22). The Bhāgavatam introduces him by name and voice, because he speaks for the entire asura-pakṣa before Bhagavān finishes him.
-
samābhāṣya
—
addressing
Sam-ā-bhāṣya — speaking fully, formally. Even the demon's challenge is structured as proper royal etiquette. The Bhāgavatam grants the asura his sentence; Bhagavān's reply will dismantle it in His own time.
Cāṇūra could not tolerate that the audience was praising Kṛṣṇa so highly. Therefore he had to say something to the two brothers.
While they were speaking in this way out of joy, their incomplete statements were interrupted by the sounds of instruments. These talks showed that it was impossible to stop them from speaking since they were the majority and indicated that their words were true. The sound of the instruments indicated the envy the wrestlers had for Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma. The music sounded continuously (ninadatsu), showing the wrestlers’ enthusiasm for fighting. Addressing the boys the wrestlers spoke. Cāṇūra spoke words. The sentence indicates that he would speak something important--he would speak cruel words. Or vākyam can mean avākyam (cānuraḥ avakyam abravīt). Cāṇūra spoke unsuitable words.
Even as the Mathurā citizens are praising Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, Cāṇūra steps forward to challenge Them. The two streams of the chapter meet here: bhakti rising from the galleries, asura-bala rising from the arena floor. Bhagavān will speak to both in turn.
