Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.51.59
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
ekānta-bhaktānām
—
of unalloyed devotees
Compound: ekānta (single-pointed) + bhaktānām (of devotees). The Gauḍīya category — bhaktas whose devotion is unmixed with karma, jñāna, yoga. The Six Gosvāmīs' favorite category; their writings repeatedly invoke ekānta-bhakti.
-
apramādāya
—
for the sake of (showing) freedom from bewilderment
From a (not) + pramāda (bewilderment) + āya (for the sake). The bhakta's apramāda is the chapter's specific virtue. Echoes Mucukunda's verse 49 contrast between pramatta (the materialist) and apramatta (the Lord).
-
dhīḥ
—
intelligence
Same root as dhī-mate (verse 22). The bhakta's discriminating intellect — never diverted. Gauḍīyas treasure this as Bhagavān's own definition of bhakti's intellectual signature: stability under temptation.
-
āśīrbhiḥ
—
by blessings
Instrumental of āśīs — blessing, benediction. The same varas Mucukunda refused. Bhagavān names the universal Vaiṣṇava category: ekānta-bhaktas are invulnerable to even āśīs.
-
bhidyate
—
is diverted
Passive of √bhid — to split, divide. The bhakta's dhī does not split. Gauḍīyas read this as the structural opposite of the impersonalist who 'merges' — the bhakta does not merge, but neither does he divide; he remains undividedly oriented to Kṛṣṇa.
Know that by offering you benedictions, I am showing other worshipers how you will not be distracted (apramadaya) by such things. Or another meaning is: Know that you will not be distracted, because the intelligence of the devotee is never attracted to material enjoyment.
Understand that you, tempted by benedictions, would not deviate. The intelligence of my devotee, who is devoid of other worship and other desires, is not absorbed in material enjoyment. To show this I tempted you.
You would not become insane or obstructed (apramattāya) by attainment of material benedictions. You would always be careful to ignore benedictions (apramattāya), because the intelligence of devotees is never pierced by benedictions. May you never be afflicted at any time by lack of bhakti.
Kṛṣṇa names the principle: 'I tempted you to display your freedom from delusion. The intelligence of My unalloyed devotees is never diverted by blessings.' Vaiṣṇava theology of the niṣkāma-bhakta — pure devotion is structurally invulnerable to bribery, even Bhagavān's.
