Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.76.20
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
adbhutam
—
amazing
Vibhāva of adbhuta-rasa (wonder). The Bhāgavatam returns to adbhuta — the chapter's framing rasa, named again in verse 1 — to mark this as a līlā-moment, not a bare military datum.
-
karma
—
feat
Same word that names every Bhāgavata 'wonderful deed' of Bhagavān (cf. SB 10.14, karmāṇy adbhutāni). Pradyumna's karma is rated by the same yardstick because he is Kṛṣṇa's expansion.
-
mahā-ātmanaḥ
—
of the great personality
Contiguous join (mahā + ātmanaḥ). Mahātmā in Gītā 9.13 is the devotee under Kṛṣṇa's divine prakṛti. Pradyumna is mahātmā in the strict sense — a soul within Bhagavān's intimate retinue.
-
pūjayām āsuḥ
—
honored
Periphrastic perfect of √pūj. Pūjā is normally directed to the deity; here both armies pūjā the warrior. Gauḍīyas read this as a faint preview of the future when both 'sides' acknowledge Bhagavān.
-
sva-para-sainikāḥ
—
the soldiers of His own side and of the enemy
Contiguous join (sva + para + sainikāḥ). The Bhāgavatam compresses sva and para — own and other — into one phrase, and then dissolves the line by their shared awe. Rasa erases the dvandva for a moment.
Seeing his extraordinary, most excellent (mahat) feat, they all praised him. However it was not amazing for him since he had unlimited śakti (mahātmanaḥ).
Seeing his extraordinary, most excellent (mahat) feat, they all praised Pradyumna. Or it was most astonishing, since in a moment all the illusions were destroyed and since at the same time he shot down Śalva’s chariot drivers etc. However it was not amazing for him since he had unlimited śakti (mahātmanaḥ).
Like a banquet at which even rival guests cannot help applauding the cook, the soldiers of both sides praise Pradyumna's feat — bhakti-prabhāva spills over the line dividing the armies. Even the asura's men have a moment of darśana.
