Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.70.22
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
puruṣaḥ
—
a person, man
Puruṣa is the Bhāgavata's resonant term — Bhagavān Himself is the puruṣottama, supreme puruṣa. Here a small puruṣa enters the court of the supreme puruṣa, a meeting that becomes the hinge of the chapter.
-
apūrva-darśanaḥ
—
whose appearance was unprecedented
Never before seen at Dvārakā — the messenger represents lands and kings outside Kṛṣṇa's daily orbit. The verse signals that bhakti reaches beyond the inner circle: even strangers are heard.
-
bhagavate
—
to the Supreme Lord
The doorkeepers announce him 'to Bhagavān' — not 'to the king.' The whole Bhāgavata vocabulary refuses to forget who Kṛṣṇa is, even in royal scenes.
-
praveśitaḥ
—
caused to enter
The passive: he is brought in. Even arriving at Bhagavān is by His grace through His servants. No one enters Sudharmā by self-effort alone; the doorkeepers (His associates) escort the supplicant in.
A person they had never seen before (apūrva-darśanaḥ) arrived. The door keepers announced him and brought him in.
A description of Kṛṣna’s typical forenoon activities has been given. One day, at that time, a king’s messenger arrived. An incident is related out of similarity to previous events described. The person had not been seen previously. O king! Śukadeva calls to the king, out of special rasa, concerning a different incident. He existed (rājan) as the messenger sent by the kings. Or he did not shine, had pale complexion (arājan), because of the great suffering of his masters. It was suitable that he was announced (vijṣāpitaḥ) to the Lord by the door keepers, because the Lord was revealing all his powers. Or he was announced to the Lord even though the Lord was omniscient (bhagavati). Or later by the Lord’s order (vijṣāpitaḥ), he was made to enter.
An unfamiliar messenger arrives at Bhagavān's court — and the doorkeepers, knowing nothing else of him, know enough to announce him to the Lord. Like a leaf borne on a river straight to the sea: every soul carrying a cry of suffering finds itself, without quite knowing how, at Kṛṣṇa's feet.
