Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.73.9
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
anusūyāmaḥ
—
we do not find fault
From anu + √asūy, 'to begrudge, resent'. The mature Vaiṣṇava response is non-asūyā: never resent the instrument because the operator is the Lord.
-
madhusūdana
—
slayer of the demon Madhu
Kṛṣṇa is invoked precisely as the killer of demons — to indicate that even the demon Jarāsandha's blow served a sūdana of subtler demons, namely the kings' own madas.
-
anugrahaḥ
—
mercy
Anu + √grah, 'a taking-after'. Distinguished from kṛpā by its asymmetry — anugraha often comes disguised as loss. The kings name the disguise correctly.
-
rājya-cyutiḥ
—
the falling from one's dominion
Cyuti is the same root used for jīvas falling from spiritual position. The political fall is read as a spiritual mercy, undoing a deeper cyuti.
It is significant that upon seeing Lord Kṛṣṇa and thus becoming purified of their sins, the kings did not feel any mundane hatred or bitterness toward Jarāsandha, who had imprisoned them. Simply by seeing Lord Kṛṣṇa, the kings came to the position of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and spoke these verses, which show deep spiritual wisdom.
We do not find fault with him (na anusuyamah). From Jarasandha we lost our kingdoms, and from losing the kingdom we have obtained your mercy.
This verse is said in a joking manner. They speak of Jarāsandha with disrespect, pointing him out (enam) in front of them. We do not hate him though he is designated constantly as the object of hatred. Anu sūyamaḥ instead of anv asūyamaḥ is poetic license. We do not see it as a fault that we lost our kingdoms. Nothing else should have happened. O master, we have taken you as our master. You killed the first demon (madhusūdana), a low rascal. Killing him was your glory. Your glory is giving mercy to the suffering people. You can do anything (vibho)! They confirm what they have said.
O master, we have taken you as our master. It is your mercy that we lost our kingdoms. You killed the first demon (madhusūdana), a low rascal. Killing him was your glory. Your glory is giving mercy to the suffering people. Or you destroy all trifling material happiness which is like honey. Losing our kingdoms was proper. There is nothing else. You can do anything (vibho)!
A patient feverish for years curses neither the medicine nor the bitter herb the physician used; he sees the physician's hand alone. The kings refuse to hate Jarāsandha — he was Kṛṣṇa's lancet, and the abscess of royal pride was Kṛṣṇa's target.
Stripped of kingdom and exiled to the forest, Yudhiṣṭhira does not curse Śakuni or Duryodhana; he reads the disaster as the Lord's instruction, and turns the forest into tapas.
The kings here speak in the same register. The Magadha king was the visible instrument; the invisible discipline (anugraha) came from Madhusūdana. To see this is the doctrinal turn of the chapter.
