Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.51.34
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
tejasā
—
by the effulgence
Instrumental of tejas. The same tejas that Mucukunda guessed at in verse 28 (tejasvinām tejaḥ) is now experienced as overwhelming. Word-reuse marks the shift from speculation to direct experience.
-
aviṣahyeṇa
—
unbearable
From a (not) + vi-sah (bear). The kṣatriya who burned an asura with a glance now confesses he cannot bear Bhagavān's mere effulgence. The hierarchy is established by the bhakta himself.
-
hata-ojasā
—
with diminished power
Compound: hata (struck) + ojasā (with vital strength). The very tapas-charged faculties that burned Kālayavana are now 'hata' before Bhagavān's tejas. Confession of relative-impotence is a bhakti-mūla.
-
mahā-bhaga
—
O most opulent one
Compound: mahā + bhaga (the six opulences of Bhagavān — bhaga-vān). Mucukunda is now invoking the very root that Bhagavān is named for. The next chapter will see him pronounce 'bhagavān' outright; the vocative is sliding toward it.
-
mānanīyaḥ
—
to be honored
Future passive participle of √man — the one whom all embodied beings should honor. The verse's universalizing turn: it is not just Mucukunda; this Person is the proper object of dehinām (embodied beings everywhere) — anticipating Gītā 18.66.
Since our strength is defeated by your power, we cannot ask many questions (praṣṭum) such as “Why have you come here? Where will you go? What are you doing at this moment?” Another version has draṣṭum. Since we cannot even see you, what is the question of speaking and asking questions? Therefore brāhmaṇas and others respect you. That is befitting. O person with greatness more than all other great persons (mahā-bhāga)! The form bhāga from bhaga here indicates “one who personifies all good qualities.”
A man whose eyes have not yet adjusted to a brilliant lamp — he turns his head, asks indirectly, names the brightness rather than the face. Mucukunda is overwhelmed by Bhagavān's tejas; the human-faculty hesitation is itself the Bhāgavata's way of dramatizing Kṛṣṇa's aiśvarya.
