Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.58.27
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
mayaḥ
—
the demon named Maya
Maya Dānava — the asura architect, counterpart to Viśvakarmā. His name and the word māyā are root-cousins; his constructions specialize in optical reversal. Gauḍīya: he is rescued by Arjuna's mercy, and his gift carries the rescuer's friendship and the rescued's nature both.
-
mocitaḥ
—
delivered
Past participle of √muc — released. Arjuna releases Maya from Agni's reach. Gauḍīya: even a sakhā-warrior's act of mercy is folded into Kṛṣṇa's larger līlā — that mercy fathers the dice-game which fathers the war.
-
sakhye
—
to his friend, Arjuna
Dative of sakhi. Maya offers the sabhā to his sakhā Arjuna — the word sakhya threads through this chapter. Gauḍīya: every relation in the Pāṇḍava world is rasa-tinted; even an asura learns to call a Pāṇḍava 'friend'.
-
bhramaḥ
—
confusion
From √bhram — to wander. The same root as bhrānti (verse 10). The Bhāgavatam plants this word in the verse to flag what Duryodhana will become: not a man with weapons but a man with bhrama, lost in māyā.
Maya gave the assembly hall to Arjuna, his friend who saved him from the fire (sakha). Within that assembly hall Duryodhana later became bewildered.
Maya was saved from the fire by the Lord.
The Lord saved the demon, and the demon gave the friend of Arjuna or the friend of the Lord the hall. Or he gave the hall out of friendship with the Pāṇḍavas. This was different from the Sudharma hall of Dvārakā. It is further described: Duryodhana would mistake water for land.
A craftsman saved from fire repays his rescuer with a craftsman's gift — a house that itself plays tricks on those who do not see truly. Maya's sabhā is asura-māyā's most refined product, and it will undo Duryodhana before any weapon does.
Mahābhārata, Sabhā-parva, records that Duryodhana, visiting the assembly hall Maya built, mistook crystal floor for water and water for floor — fell into the water, was laughed at by Draupadī (or so he heard), and conceived the rage that would burn into the dice game.
Gauḍīyas: the sabhā built by an asura's hand carried asura-māyā in its grain. Maya's gift was real generosity, but it could not help showing the asura mind to itself. The seed of the war is in this house.
