Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.51.33
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
bhasmī-kṛtaḥ
—
turned to ashes
Compound: bhasma + kṛtaḥ. Fourth use of bhasma-related vocabulary in the chapter — 12, 22, 50, here. The Bhāgavata pins the chapter together with this word; Kālayavana's combustion is the structural pivot.
-
ātmīyena
—
by his own
Adjective from ātman + īya — pertaining to his own self. Mucukunda diagnoses correctly: the asura's pāpa was 'his own' — not the sage's wrath. Bhakta's discernment: see whose karma is at work.
-
pāpmanā
—
by sinful karma
Instrumental of pāpman — sin-quality. The cause is named: pāpa, not tapas. Gauḍīyas note: a tapasvī's glance does not, of itself, burn — the asura's accumulated aśubha (verse 8) is the actual fuel.
-
śrīmān
—
glorious, possessed of śrī
From śrī. He whom Lakṣmī accompanies. Mucukunda's first epithet for Kṛṣṇa post-darśana names the inseparability of Bhagavān and śrī — the Vaiṣṇava theological commitment that Lakṣmī never leaves Viṣṇu's side.
-
amitra-śāsanaḥ
—
the chastiser of enemies
Compound: amitra (non-friend, enemy) + śāsanaḥ (the one who disciplines). Bhagavān's executive aspect. Even before Mucukunda calls Him Nārāyaṇa, he calls Him the punisher of asuras — true to his kṣatriya idiom.
Kālayavana had declared himself the enemy of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and the Yadu dynasty. Through Mucukunda, Śrī Kṛṣṇa destroyed the opposition of that foolish barbarian.
I see you the punisher of enemies. Through me you had your enemy Kalayavana killed.
Nūnam indicates conjecture. He was turned to ashes by his own sins. Thus his offense was removed. This indicates Mucukunda’s humility. Because his offense was removed he attained great fortune. Sometimes śrīman is seen instead of śrīmān. You killed or punished your enemy here by your intelligence (amitra-śāsanaḥ). Another version has amitra-śātanaḥ with the same meaning.
Mucukunda summarizes the moment: one man was burned away by his own karma, and immediately, in the same gaze, You appeared. He recognizes the sequence — Bhagavān often follows on the heels of the asura's combustion. The cave was emptied for Him.
