Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.56.29-30
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
vijñāta-vijñānam
—
who had understood the truth
Compound: vijñāta (understood) + vijñānam (realised knowledge). Vijñāna in Bhāgavata usage is jñāna ripened into anubhava — known in the body, not just the head. Jāmbavān has earned this word with twenty-eight days of fists.
-
śam-kareṇa
—
by the hand which bestows auspiciousness
Compound: śam (auspiciousness, peace) + karaḥ (giver, doer). The same compound-shape that names Lord Śiva (Śaṅkara). Kṛṣṇa's hand carries the very meaning of Śiva's name — auspiciousness embodied in touch.
-
megha-gambhīrayā girā
—
with a voice deep like a cloud
Compound: megha (cloud) + gambhīrā (deep) + girā (voice, instrumental). The Bhāgavatam's signature image for Bhagavān's voice — deep as a cloud, dark as a cloud, full of rain. Speech and grace fall together.
-
bhaktam
—
to His devotee
Accusative of bhakta. The Bhāgavatam's most decisive naming. Once Jāmbavān recognises, Kṛṣṇa names him 'devotee' — and the entire combat is reclassified, retroactively, as bhakti.
-
kṛpayā parayā
—
with great compassion
Compound idea: kṛpā (compassion) + parā (supreme, instrumental). The defining word of Gauḍīya soteriology — kṛpā, mercy. The Lord's first response to recognition is not reward but compassion.
The Lord touched Jambavan, who had personally realized (vijnata) knowledge of bhagavan (visistha jnana or vijnana), with his hand, and thus relieved his devotee of his bodily pains.
Ṛkṣa-rājānam instead of ṛkṣa-rājam is poetic license. Though involved in fighting in this way, Kṛṣṇa remained fixed in his affection (acyutaḥ) because he was the son of Devakī, Bhagavān. O king! People like you have also realized this. With the greatest mercy he touched Jāmbavān on all his limbs since he was a devotee, with his hand which bestowed all happiness (saṁkareṇa) while removing the suffering caused by the fight, while looking at him with a joyful, affectionate glance (aravindākṣaḥ). Śukadeva describes his voice as resembling rumbling clouds out of longing on remembering the sweetness of the tone of his voice. Jāmbavān understood what had to be understood—that he had previously been the Lord’s servant, and that he himself had special powers. Or he had understood various things about himself.
The same hand that struck Jāmbavān for twenty-eight days now touches him with auspiciousness. The Lord's contact has two modes — combat and benediction — and they are the same hand. The Bhāgavatam closes the loop: misrecognition healed by touch.
