Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.56.7
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
didṛkṣuḥ
—
wanting to see
Desiderative of √dṛś. The grammar of desire-to-see. Gauḍīya emphasis: dṛśyate is the goal of every jīva and every demigod — and only Kṛṣṇa is fully draṣṭavya. The citizens project this rightly.
-
jagat-pate
—
O Lord of the universe
Compound: jagat (universe) + pate (master, vocative). Naming the Lord by his cosmic title precisely when a cosmic deity is supposedly approaching — emphasising that Sūrya answers to Kṛṣṇa, not the reverse.
-
muṣṇan
—
stealing
Present participle of √muṣ. The same root as muṣṭa-dṛṣṭayaḥ in verse 5. Borrowed light steals sight; Kṛṣṇa's darśana gives it. The chapter's vocabulary is patiently building the contrast.
He is blinding our eyes with his network of rays (gabhasti cakrena).
O lord of the universe! He has come, wanting to see you, disregarding seeing other people since you are most desirable, because you bestow the ultimate happiness and show yourself as a result of worship. Others are not desirable since they do not give much happiness by perfection of their worship. “But he is not the sun god.” But he blinds our eyes with his halo because of his intense rays.
The sun god desires to see you. “But he cannot give up his job of lighting up the world and come here.” O lord of the universe! You protect the universe by your light. What use is he? Or his main goal is to see his master. Or only by the mercy of the master, his desires will be fulfilled. Thus he desires to see you. “But he is not the sun god.” He dazzles our eyes because his rays are intense (tigma-guh).
The citizens read Sūrya as a visiting petitioner come to see Kṛṣṇa — and they have the order exactly right. Even the sun is a darśana-seeker; Kṛṣṇa is the darśana. This is the Bhāgavata reversal in one breath.
