• puruṣa - ṛṣabha — bull of men
  Compound: puruṣa + ṛṣabha (bull, chief). Cf. verse 17 — the same epithet Śuka used for Parīkṣit. The Bhāgavatam grants the title equally — Kaṁsa is a bull among men, Parīkṣit also; the same word inhabits opposite ethics.
• virahitā — bereft
  Past participle of vi + √rah — to leave, abandon. The widow-word. Cf. the gopīs' viraha for Kṛṣṇa after His departure for Mathurā (the very next chapters). The Bhāgavatam uses the same viraha-vocabulary for both — the city of Mathurā in viraha for Kaṁsa, the gopīs of Vraja in viraha for Kṛṣṇa. Same word, different rasa.
• nivṛtta - utsava - maṅgalā — with festivities and auspiciousness ceased
  Compound: nivṛtta (turned-away) + utsava (festival) + maṅgala (auspiciousness). The Bhāgavatam pictures the city's joy as 'turned away' — utsava is not destroyed, just absent. It is waiting to return in another form.
• purī — the city
  From √pṝ (to fill, fortify). The same word that names Mathurā-purī. The Bhāgavatam personifies the city as a woman — like the widows, the purī is in mourning. The next chapters will show her finding new utsava under Kṛṣṇa's coronation of Ugrasena.

Without you, the city itself has lost its beauty — its festivals, its good fortune, all gone. The widows describe Mathurā as widowed; the queen-consort and the queen-city share the bereavement. The Bhāgavatam, with the gentlest touch, names the cost of demoniac rule: when the tyrant goes, the city's habituated joy goes too. It will have to learn a new joy.
