• mahat-āścaryam — the great wonder
  Compound: mahat (great) + āścaryam (marvel). The chapter's last invocation of adbhuta-rasa — opened at v.5, closed here. The Bhāgavatam frames the entire episode as one extended marvel-event.
• kṛṣṇa-antaḥ-pura-yoṣitaḥ — the women of Kṛṣṇa's inner palace
  Compound: kṛṣṇa (Kṛṣṇa) + antaḥ (inner) + pura (palace) + yoṣitaḥ (women, fem. pl.). The 16,108 queens and their women — the most populous antaḥ-pura in the Bhāgavatam. They greet collectively, as a household.
• abhyanandan — they greeted, they rejoiced over
  Imperfect of abhi-√nand (to greet with joy, to praise). The same verb used of the devas at v.25; the inner-household joy matches the cosmic joy in vocabulary.
• naṣṭam-mṛtam-iva-āgatam — lost and returned as if from the dead
  Compound: naṣṭam (lost) + mṛtam (dead) + iva (as if) + āgatam (returned). Four words that compress the chapter's arc. The Bhāgavatam refuses to soften: the women treat Pradyumna's loss as a death and His return as a resurrection.

The palace women, hearing the story, greet Pradyumna as one returning from the dead — a son lost for years brought back. The household economy of bhakti includes long absences; reunion lands not as a mild relief but as resurrection.
