Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.62.25-26
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
yadu-vīreṇa
—
by the hero of the Yadus
Instrumental compound: yadu + vīreṇa (hero). The guards do not know His name; the poet names Him by His dynasty. The Vṛṣṇi-house is the public face by which the world will identify Bhagavān's vyūha when His private name is unknown.
-
hata-vratām
—
whose (virgin) vow was broken
Compound: hata (struck down) + vratām (vowed). The technical phrase for the breaking of kanyā-vrata. The Bhāgavatam does not euphemize — the rules of social dharma have been crossed, and the next chapters will reckon with that even as the larger līlā moves forward.
-
ā-prītām
—
extremely happy
Compound: ā (intensifier) + prītām (pleased). The same prīti-root that names the highest stage of Vaikuṇṭha-bhakti (prīti as the sthāyī-bhāva of dāsya-rasa). Used here for romantic happiness — the chapter keeps borrowing bhakti-vocabulary for its love-plot.
-
kula-dūṣaṇam
—
the besmirching of the family
Compound: kula (family) + dūṣaṇam (defilement). The phrase Arjuna uses in BG 1 when refusing to fight. Honor-language is the asura-realm's highest value; in Vraja, gopīs accept exactly this kula-dūṣaṇa for Kṛṣṇa's sake — the contrast is being set up.
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī has defined the word bhaṭāḥ as “female guards,” whereas Jīva Gosvāmī defines it as “eunuchs and others.” Grammatically, the word can function both ways. The guards feared that if Bāṇāsura found out about Ūṣā’s activities from some other source, he would severely punish them, and thus they personally informed him that his young daughter was no longer innocent.
Seeing the condition of Usa, by symptoms of her indulgence, the chief of which was her great joyfulness, which could not be concealed, the female guards (bhata) reported to Banasura. The guards went and told Banasura, fearing that he would punish them if he found out from some other source. "W have seen signs of improper acts of your unmarried daughter, which spoil the reputation of your family."
She was enjoyed by him. He had no fear and was most clever. She had broken her vows of chastity. The guards saw the symptoms. What were the symptoms? They could not be concealed. Signs of love making were noticed. The main sign was that she was so joyful (āprītām). Bhatāḥ means eunuchs and other guards within the palace.
In this way (tathā) she was enjoyed by the hero of the Yadus (who was fearless and skillful), and had broken her vows as a maiden (hata-vratām). Another version has hata-trapām (destroyed shyness) since she was without shame. She was joyful (āprītām). The signs of love could not be hidden. The guards--eunuchs or hunchbacks--servants of Bāṇa noticed this and told Bāṇa. O king! The servant should inform the king of his intentions. Or this is not respectable for the daughter of a king.
Like rain that cannot stay inside one cloud forever, the secret breaks at the edges — the guards see what love cannot hide. The Bhāgavatam moves from inner room to public report; the war is being summoned from inside the heart's own joy.
