Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.43.32
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
nanda-sūno
—
O son of Nanda
Vocative — Cāṇūra calls Kṛṣṇa 'son of Nanda', the Vraja name. Even hostile speech in the Bhāgavatam preserves the vraja-paternity. Gauḍīya reading: nanda-suta is the higher identification (Yaśodā-nandana, Vraja-vāsī), preserved even on Mathurā ground. A contiguous-token join of synonyms 'nanda' and 'sūno'.
-
vīra-sammatau
—
respected by heroes
Cāṇūra positions the brothers as warrior-class kṣatriyas, attempting to bind Them to kṣatriya-dharma. Kṛṣṇa will take the hook (43.37) — yes, We are subjects, We must please the king — but only to use that very dharma to justify the killing.
-
niyuddha-kuśalau
—
skillful at wrestling
Niyuddha is empty-handed combat. Cāṇūra claims skill where the Lord has displayed it on Kuvalayāpīḍa moments ago. The asura's flattery is technically accurate; only its motive is corrupt. A contiguous-token join of synonyms 'niyuddha' and 'kuśalau'.
-
didṛkṣuṇā
—
who wanted to see
'Wishing to see' — Kaṁsa's claimed motive. The Bhāgavata irony is sharp: Kaṁsa truly does wish to see Kṛṣṇa, but only to kill Him. Compare 43.17's 'wishing to see' (draṣṭum) where the Lord enters the arena freely; the verbs match but the bhāvas could not be more opposite.
You are skilful at wrestling (bahu yuddha).
He addressed them. O son of Nanda! O Rāma! By addressing Kṛṣṇa as the son of Nanda he indicates that Nanda was his true father. He addressed Balarāma as Rāma, meaning that he gave pleasure to all people, to encourage him to fight. But the wrestler intended to show the low birth of Kṛṣṇa from a cowherd family and by not mentioning Balarāma’s lineage, indicate that his parentage was not known, in order to take away their glory by mocking them. You are respected by men as being courageous. The king has heard you are skilful at wrestling. He wants to see you wrestle. Since the king wants to see, you must be qualified. Thus you should participate in this fight. Because of the contrary mean of the words, his statement is meant to mock them.
Cāṇūra's flattery is poisoned: 'You are vīra-sammata, You are niyuddha-kuśala, the King has called You.' Each compliment is a hook. Bhagavān will turn each hook around in His reply — taking the kingship-protocol Cāṇūra invokes and using it to justify the very fight that will kill Cāṇūra.
