Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.69.43
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
anusmaran
—
always remembering
Present participle of anu + √smṛ. Continuous remembrance — the smṛti Nārada asked for at v.18 is now granted in the act of departure. The chapter has answered Nārada's prayer in its own structure: the prayer was made, the līlā was shown, the smṛti now travels with him.
-
śraddhita-ātmanā
—
with faithful heart
Compound: śraddhita (faithful) + ātman (heart, self), instrumental. Kṛṣṇa's heart is the one offering the honors — faith flows from Him to Nārada, not only the reverse. Gauḍīyas: the Lord has śraddhā in His devotee; the relationship is two-directional.
-
artha-kāma-dharmeṣu
—
in items of artha, kāma, and dharma
Compound: the three first puruṣārthas. Kṛṣṇa gifts Nārada in each of these registers. Gauḍīyas note the missing fourth (mokṣa) — because Nārada already has the higher prayojana, prema, and so the lesser three are mere ceremonial residue.
-
sabhājitaḥ
—
thoroughly honored
Past participle of sa + √bhaj (to share, honor). The verb at bhakti's root — bhaj. Bhagavān bhajati His own bhakta. The reversal that has structured the chapter is sealed in the final verb: the Object of bhakti performs bhakti towards the subject.
As Śrīla Prabhupāda points out in Kṛṣṇa, the phrase artha-kāma-dharmeṣu indicates that Lord Kṛṣṇa was behaving like an ordinary householder deeply concerned with economic development, sense gratification and religious duties. Nārada could understand the Lord’s purpose, and he was most pleased by Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s exemplary behavior. Thus fully enlivened in his pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he departed.
Narada was worshipped with devotion by Krsna, whose mind was filled with faith (sraddhita atmana) in artha, kama and dharma.
Kṛṣṇa worshipped him completely with all fine articles, enjoyments and sacrifices (dharmeṣu). Whatever he wanted was supplied to please Nārada or others, since the Lord was filled with faith. After some days Nārada departed.
Kṛṣṇa greatly honoured Nārada, showing him his special powers, because Kṛṣṇa was endowed with faith in artha, kāma and dharma, in order to teach him. Or the Lord was pleased (śraddhātmanā) with people who had desire (kāma) for bhakti, which is dharma, the essence of the four puruṣārthas (artha). Nārada departed, continually remembering the Lord.
A guest who has been royally fed, gifted, and honored leaves the host's house carrying nothing in his bag and everything in his memory. Nārada departs Dvārakā with the standard ceremonial gifts — artha, kāma, dharma — but the real bag he carries is anusmaran: the unbroken thread of remembering Him.
