Important Words
-
rājasūyam
—
to the Rājasūya sacrifice
Rāja (king) + sūya (birthing, generating). The sacrifice that brings forth a sovereign. Traditionally only one king of the era may perform it; the Pāṇḍavas' Rājasūya marks Yudhiṣṭhira as that emperor and is the structural occasion for everything Canto 10 ch. 74 will unfold.
-
kṛṣṇa - bhaktasya
—
for the devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa
Compound: Kṛṣṇa + bhakta (devotee). The single phrase that explains the demigods' lack of surprise. Gauḍīyas treasure the verse's grammar: it is being-Kṛṣṇa's-devotee, not being-emperor, that opens the cosmos to a man.
-
su - upapannam
—
quite appropriate
Su (well) + upapanna (fitting). The demigods recognise the scene as upapanna — as it should be. The Bhāgavatam quietly reverses the cosmic order: the demigods, not the emperor, are the ones for whom the scene is naturalised.
-
avismitāḥ
—
not surprised
A (not) + vismita (astonished). The negation is the point. Devas do not gawk at devotees' glory — they expect it. Gauḍīyas: where Kṛṣṇa is, opulence is residual, not remarkable.
The utensils used in the sacrifice were made of gold, just as in the ancient Rājasūya performed by Lord Varuṇa. Indra, Brahmā, Śiva and many other planetary rulers; the Siddhas and Gandharvas with their entourage; the Vidyādharas; great serpents; sages; Yakṣas; Rākṣasas; celestial birds; Kinnaras; Cāraṇas; and earthly kings — all were invited, and indeed they all came from every direction to the Rājasūya sacrifice of King Yudhiṣṭhira, the son of Pāṇḍu. They were not in the least astonished to see the opulence of the sacrifice, since it was quite appropriate for a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Purport
Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira was universally famous as a great devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and thus nothing was impossible for him.

Translation
The utensils used in the sacrifice were made of gold, just as in the ancient Rājasūya performed by Lord Varuṇa. Indra, Brahmā, Śiva and many other planetary rulers; the Siddhas and Gandharvas with their entourage; the Vidyādharas; great serpents; sages; Yakṣas; Rākṣasas; celestial birds; Kinnaras; Cāraṇas; and earthly kings—all were invited, and indeed they all came from every direction to the Rājasūya sacrifice of King Yudhiṣṭhira, the son of Pāṇḍu. They were not in the least astonished to see the opulence of the sacrifice, since it was quite appropriate for a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Commentary
They were not astonished, for what is not possible for the devotee of Krsna?

Commentary
The vessels were made of gold. One should not doubt this (kila). Brahmā and Śiva were the chief devatās present. Sagaṇāḥ refers to Garuḍa and other Vaikuṇṭha associates. The sages were ātmārāmas like the Kumāras. The birds were the sons of Garuḍa. Yudhiṣṭhira is called the son of Pāṇḍu because as his son he spread Pāṇḍu’s fame. They did not consider the sacrifice astonishing since Yudhiṣṭhira was a devotee of Svayam Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa.

Analogy
The first Rājasūya in cosmic memory was Varuṇa's; his gold utensils set the template. Yudhiṣṭhira's sacrifice mirrors that ancient pattern, and the same celestial guest-list — Indra, Brahmā, Śiva with their entourages — descends. Yet they come without surprise: they have noticed who Yudhiṣṭhira's friend is, and for kṛṣṇa-bhaktas this scale of glory is normal.
