Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.47.23
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
pūrṇa-arthāḥ
—
whose purposes are fulfilled
Compound: pūrṇa (full) + arthāḥ (purposes). The gopīs are pūrṇa — complete — because they have already given everything to Kṛṣṇa. Gauḍīyas read this as the technical pūrṇatā of prema-bhakti.
-
loka-pūjitāḥ
—
worshiped by all people
Compound: loka + pūjitāḥ. The gopīs become the universal object of devotee worship — Uddhava acknowledges what later Gauḍīyas formalize: gopī-pūjā is at the apex of upāsanā.
-
vāsudeve bhagavati
—
to Vāsudeva, the Supreme Lord
Vāsudeva — son of Vasudeva, the form Kṛṣṇa takes in Mathurā/Dvārakā. Uddhava uses the aiśvarya-name; the gopīs would not. The name choice already records the chapter's tension: Vāsudeva vs Nanda-suta.
-
arpitam manaḥ
—
the offered mind
Compound: arpitam (offered) + manaḥ (mind). Mano-arpaṇa — offering of the mind — is the bhakti-saṅkalpa Rūpa Gosvāmī defines as the entrance to bhāva. The gopīs have completed it.
Although other devotees have certainly surrendered their minds unto the Lord, the gopīs are unique in the intensity of their love.
"Indeed (sma) you, whose minds are offered in this way to the Lord, are certainly successful. Other devotees also offer their minds to the Lord, but we do not see their minds offered in this way."
Ah (aho)! This is most amazing. It is something never seen or heard previously. It is certain (sma). He uses yūyam and bhavatyaḥ which have the same meaning out of great respect. The past particple expresses the present (pūjitāḥ). Your goal, prema is outstanding, with complete form, endowed with all good qualities (pūrṇārthāḥ). Naturally you have all wealth. Therefore, you are worshipped by all other people more than any others. Or you, Rādhā and the other gopīs, having complete prema, are worshiped by others. With the greatest prema your minds have been offered to Kṛṣṇa, the shelter of all beings (vāsudeve), the source of all beings, and the supreme shelter of all powers (bhagavati). The expression yāsām iti arpita-manaḥ indicates that their minds act independently.
This is amazing (aho)! Or it expresses bliss. Sma means eva (emphatic). It can be placed with all the appropriate words praising the gopīs. You have attained all success, which even Lakṣmi has not attained. Thus you are worthy of worship (pujitāḥ) by all people in all fourteen worlds. Out of joy he addreses them with yūyam and later out of devotion addresses with bhavatyaḥ. Your minds are fixed in the antaryāmī (vāsudeve), full of six qualities (bhagavati), or in the son of Vasudeva, who is directly the supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa (bhagavati). Vasudeva-gṛhe sākṣat bhagavān puruṣaḥ paraḥ: the direct Lord, the highest person has appeared in Vasudeva’s house. (SB 10.1.23) Or you fixed your minds on the son of the best Vasu, Nanda, the supreme person full of unparalleled bueaty (bhagavati). By saying the Kṛṣṇa is supreme, he shows the gopīs that they have attained the highest success. They fixed their minds on him with the highest prema.
Uddhava opens with the only honest sentence available: 'You are universally worshiped. Your minds are fixed on Vāsudeva. There is nothing to teach you.' Like a tutor stepping into a hall where the students already know the subject better than he does, he begins by surrendering his pedagogy.
