Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.89.38
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
sa-śarīraḥ
—
with his own body
Compound: sa (with) + śarīra (body). The infant disappears bodily — not as a soul departing but as a body lifted. Gauḍīyas note this rules out 'death by destiny' and indicates a transcendent agent.
-
adarśanam āpede
—
became invisible, was lost from sight
Compound: a-darśana (non-sight) + āpede (he attained). The infant is not killed but withdrawn from sight. The precise diction prepares verse 58's revelation — Mahā-Viṣṇu took them for darśana.
-
vihāyasā
—
through the sky
Instrumental of vihāyas (sky). The vector is upward, beyond the śara-pañjara. The Bhāgavatam will track this vector for the next twenty verses — through Loka, beyond Lokāloka, through tamas, into brahmajyoti, into the kāraṇa-jala.
Even the body completely disappeared. This incident shows that without the desire of Krsna, all the weapons and Siva could not protect the body of the infant.
The child disappeared into the sky. athākāśe punar vācam aśrauṣaṁ bālakasya vai / hāheti hriyamāṇasya na ca paśyāmi rākṣasam // In the sky I heard the cries of the child as it was being taken away. But I could not see the Rākṣasa who did it. Hari-vaṁśa
As soon as the child was born and began crying, the child disappeared into the sky. athākāśe punar vācam aśrauṣaṁ bālakasya vai hāheti hriyamāṇasya na ca paśyāmi rākṣasam In the sky I heard the cries of the child as it was being taken away. But I could not see the Rākṣasa who did it. Hari-vaṁśa It was night. gate 'rdha-rātra-samaye brāhmaṇo bhaya-viklavaḥ upāgamya bhayād asmān idaṁ vacanam abravīt After midnight the brāhmaṇa came to me in great fear and spoke with fear. Hari-vaṁśa Or because Śukadeva does not mention it, it was daytime. Many contrary versions can be attributed to stories from different kalpas and can be ignored.
The infant cries briefly, then vanishes — sa-śarīraḥ, in his selfsame body — into the sky. Not killed; lifted. Arjuna's cage was perfect against killing; useless against being summoned. The Bhāgavatam is precise: the cause was never on this plane.
