Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.69.42
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
ananta-vīryasya
—
whose prowess is unlimited
Compound: ananta (endless) + vīrya (potency, prowess). One of Bhagavān's principal qualifications. Vīrya here is not merely physical strength but the unbounded efficacy of His will — the same vīrya that arranged the sixteen-thousand-fold līlā.
-
muhuḥ dṛṣṭvā
—
having repeatedly witnessed
muhuḥ (repeatedly) + absolutive of √dṛś. The wonder is not from a single sighting; Nārada has watched the same Bhagavān palace after palace. The repetition deepens the wonder rather than dulling it — a Gauḍīya principle: nava-nava prati-kṣaṇa, ever-fresh moment by moment.
-
jātakautukaḥ
—
filled with wonder
Compound: jāta (born, arisen) + kautuka (curiosity, wonder). Wonder is born afresh in Nārada — confirming that Kṛṣṇa-darśana renews kautuka rather than satisfying it once and for all. Gauḍīyas read this as the structure of prema: increase without saturation.
-
vismitaḥ
—
amazed
From vi + √smi. The same word from v.22 returns at the chapter's end — bracketing Nārada's experience between two vismayas. Astonishment is both the doorway and the room.
Though Nārada was omniscient (ṛṣiḥ), seeing constantly the most excellent appearance of yoga-māyā which was beyond his intelligence, filled with happiness, he was astonished.
The sage, though omniscient, seeing again and again (vīkṣya)--to remove doubts, since it was most difficult to understand--the great display of yoga-māyā of Kṛṣṇa, who appeared in the world to display his unlimited powers, who was directly bhagavān, and had unlimited power, was amazed and became filled with bliss (jāta-kautukaḥ).
Even Nārada, who has carried his vīṇā across countless worlds, is left vismita. The chapter wants us to notice: the right response to Kṛṣṇa is not familiarity but renewed wonder, and the deeper the bhakta, the more deeply astonished.
