Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.84.9
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
janma-bhṛtaḥ
—
successful in our birth
Compound: janma (birth) + bhṛta (carried, sustained, fulfilled). The idiom is that birth has paid its rent. Gauḍīyas hold that human birth has only one rent — sādhu-saṅga leading to bhakti.
-
kārtsnyena
—
in fullness, totally
From kṛtsna (whole, entire). The fruit of birth is not partial here — it is the whole of it. Gauḍīyas read kārtsnyena as the language of prema-bhakti: nothing held back.
-
yoga-īśvara
—
master of yoga
yoga (union, discipline) + īśvara (master). Here applied to the ṛṣis themselves. Gauḍīyas note that Kṛṣṇa is yogeśvara par excellence (BG 18.78), so honoring lesser yoga-īśvaras is honoring Him through His representatives.
-
darśanam
—
the sight, audience
From √dṛś. Not passive looking — mutual seeing. Gauḍīyas treat darśana of sādhu as itself a sacrament: one is seen back, and that seeing rearranges the heart.
Despite the great privileges the demigods enjoy as administrators of the universe, they rarely see such sages as Nārada and Vyāsadeva. How much rarer, then, must it be for earthly kings and mere cowherds to see them. Here Lord Kṛṣṇa, identifying Himself with all the kings and others who had assembled at Samanta-pañcaka, speaks on their behalf.
Krsna said, "Our births have become successful (janmabhrtah). Seeing masters of yoga is rare even for devas, what to speak of humans."
Aho expresses joy. We as human beings have now met you who are accomplished (īśvara) in various yogas like bhakti, jṣāna and karma according to your practice. You have the power to give or prevent attainment of these. Or yogeśvara can mean simply great devotees. This is a general description which actually includes many types of sages, though there was a prominence of devotees. He spoke in this way to respect them all.
Aho expresses joy. We humans have not met you who are accomplished in samādhi or sāyujya (yogeśvara).
Even demigods, eating their amṛta in Svarga, cannot pull a sage out of his samādhi to be looked at. Kṛṣṇa says: we mortals at Kurukṣetra have today drawn the lottery the devas could not afford. Sādhu-saṅga is the only fruit He calls life's full kārtsnya.
Throughout the Bhāgavatam (e.g., SB 5.19, the demigods extolling Bhārata-varṣa), Svarga residents are described as envying human beings, because only here can sādhu-saṅga and direct bhakti to Hari be cultivated.
Gauḍīyas use this to upend the assumption that Svarga is the goal. The goal is Bhagavān and His devotees; Svarga merely defers the meeting.
Parīkṣit, cursed to die in seven days (SB 1.19), uses every remaining hour to sit with sages, ending with Śuka. The Bhāgavatam holds his choice as the model of how a human birth is to be cashed in.
Kṛṣṇa here voices the same theology in plain speech: the audience of yoga-īśvaras is the fruit of having been born.
