  • upekṣitah — neglected, disregarded
    Past participle of upa-īkṣ — 'to look past.' (The source synonym is rendered upekṣitah; standard form upekṣitaḥ.) Crucial Bhāgavata theological term. Worse than being killed by the Lord is being looked past. Compare Kṛṣṇa's upekṣa of Aghāsura's mother's grief: divine inattention is the heaviest sentence.
  • bhagavatā — by the Supreme Lord
    Instrumental of Bhagavān. The verse insists on the title at the moment of upekṣa — He who possesses all opulence is precisely the one who can afford to look past Jarāsandha. The neglect is sovereign, not casual.
  • durmanāḥ — depressed, ill-minded
    Compound: dus (bad) + manas (mind). The mental aftermath of being upekṣita-by-Bhagavān: durmanas. Devotional language — Caitanya-caritāmṛta uses similar terms for separation-grief — but here twisted into demonic depression rather than viraha-prema.
  • bārhadrathaḥ — the son of Bṛhadratha
    Patronymic. Bṛhadratha — the king who, childless, performed sacrifices that produced Jarāsandha in two halves later joined by Jarā (cf. Mahābhārata Sabhā 14–16). The patronymic surfaces just as Jarāsandha goes back to Magadha — back to his origin-story.
All of his armies having been killed, and himself neglected by the Personality of Godhead, King Jarāsandha, son of Bṛhadratha, then sadly returned to the kingdom of the Magadhas.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
All of his armies having been killed, and himself neglected by the Personality of Godhead, King Jarāsandha, son of Bṛhadratha, then sadly returned to the kingdom of the Magadhas.
Commentary

The son of Brhadratha, Barhadratha or Jarasandha, went to Magadha.

Jīva Gosvāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

Jarāsandha was famous as the son of a great emperor Bṛhadratha. Because of his pride he was rejected by the Lord and returned to his kingdom with a grieving heart (durmanā).

Śrīdhara Svāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

He was a king, moreover the son of a brave warrior (barhadrathas), but lamented in his heart, because the desire to fight with the Lord did not go away.

Concepts
Jiva

All armies dead, even the king himself neglected — upekṣita — by the Personality of Godhead, Jarāsandha trudges back to Magadha. To be 'neglected by Bhagavān' is, in Bhāgavata reckoning, the deepest poverty; the demon has fame, vassals, and even his life, but Kṛṣṇa has looked past him.
