Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.44.30
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
ṛte kaṁsam
—
except Kaṁsa
Indeclinable ṛte (except) + accusative of Kaṁsa. The whole world rejoices; one man does not. The Bhāgavatam loves this isolation-syntax — one against the chorus is always the demon's grammar (cf. SB 7, Hiraṇyakaśipu against all).
-
vipra - mukhyāḥ
—
the chief brāhmaṇas
Compound: vipra (brāhmaṇa) + mukhya (chief). The brāhmaṇa class, kept neutral so far in the arena, now publicly endorses. Gauḍīyas note: brāhmaṇa endorsement is dharma's seal — the regime is now officially without legitimacy.
-
sādhu sādhu iti
—
'Excellent! Excellent!'
The vocative-style cry. The same sādhu-sādhu the Bhāgavatam records at Prahlāda's victory, at Dhruva's coronation, at Bhīṣma's death — the chorus of approving sages. The same chorus now sounds in Mathurā.
-
prajahṛṣuḥ
—
they rejoiced
Plural perfect of pra + √hṛṣ (to thrill). Specifically the bristling-of-the-hair joy — sāttvika-bhāva of romāñca. The whole arena exhibits a sāttvika-bhāva that one man (Kaṁsa) is constitutionally unable to feel.
It is understood that as the best of the brāhmaṇas and saints were exclaiming “Excellent! Excellent!” the worst of the brāhmaṇas, namely Kaṁsa’s priests, were seriously grieving.
Among the brahmanas those who were chief, and were devotees, shouted, "This is very good!" The low class brahmanas who were priests of Kamsa cried out, "Oh what misfortune!"
The devotees and the chief brāhmaṇas praised him because they lost all fear of Kaṁsa on realizing Kṛṣṇa’s greatness. They rejoiced by clearly saying “This is very good!”
Everyone was filled with intense joy. Balarāma gave pleasure to the people (rāma). Kṛṣṇa attracted everyone’s hearts or gave everyone the highest bliss. They were blissful because of their activities of killing the demons. Balarāma is mentioned first because he was elder. The kṣatriyas and vaiśyas etc. among whom there were the chief brāhmaṇas, all being devotees (sādhavaḥ), sang. Or the best of the brāhmaṇas and the other devotees praised them since other brāhmaṇas were afraid of Kaṁsa and thus were not so bold.
Everyone except Kaṁsa rejoices — brāhmaṇas, sādhus, citizens calling out 'sādhu sādhu'. The chorus has shifted; the one face that does not move is the king's. A regime that cannot rejoice in dharma's victory has already announced its end.
