Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.71.29
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
aravinda - akṣam
—
lotus-eyed
Aravinda-akṣa — one of Viṣṇu's thousand names. The lotus-eye image evokes both the visual softness of Kṛṣṇa's glance and the lotus-born Lakṣmī who lives in His look.
-
tuṣṭuvuḥ
—
they praised with hymns
Tuṣṭu — to please by praise. The verb makes glorification a transaction: praise pleases the Lord, and pleased, He gives. This is the kīrtana-economy of Gauḍīya practice.
-
nanṛtuḥ jaguḥ
—
they danced, they sang
Twin verbs, dance and song. Mahāprabhu's saṅkīrtana inherits exactly this combination; the verse is its śāstric seed.
The sūtas, the māgadhas, and the Gandharvas sang and danced using instruments. The vandis and orators (upamanitriṇaḥ) praised the Lord. The brāhmaṇas said, “Having protected real dharma for us and others, may you live long!” Or, out of great joy all praised and sang using instruments because having seen him with his lotus eyes (aravindākṣam), all suffering ceased and all joy manifested.
The sutas, māgadhas vandis and brāhmaṇas praised the :Lord. Gandarvas sang. Subordinates or dancers danced with mrḍangas. The list of instruments is in order to increasing cause of blissful dancing. Or out of extreme bliss, all of them praised and danced to the musical accompaniment because they saw the Lord who gives the highest bliss and destroys all pain. The list of persons is in order of increasing excellence in praising.
Sūtas, Māgadhas, gandharvas, brāhmaṇas and jesters all glorifying the lotus-eyed Lord at once is like a single ocean fed by many rivers — every craft of speech and song pours into the kīrtana whose centre is Kṛṣṇa.
