Vasudeva and Devakī Glorify Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma; The Recovery of Devakī’s Six Sons from Sutala
श्रीशुक उवाच एवं भगवता राजन् वसुदेव उदाहृत: । श्रुत्वा विनष्टनानाधीस्तूष्णीं प्रीतमना अभूत् ॥ २६ ॥
śrī-śuka uvāca evaṁ bhagavatā rājan vasudeva udāhṛtaḥ śrutvā vinaṣṭa-nānā-dhīs tūṣṇīṁ prīta-manā abhūt
قال شُكاديفا غوسوامي: أيها الملك، لما سمع فاسوديفا هذا التعليم الذي نطق به الربّ الأعلى زالت عنه أفكار الازدواج كلها. فامتلأ قلبه رضًا وبقي صامتًا.
This verse says that after being addressed by Bhagavān, Vasudeva’s many doubts were destroyed, and by hearing he became inwardly satisfied—showing the purifying, doubt-clearing power of the Lord’s instruction.
Śuka highlights Vasudeva’s reverent, contemplative response: having understood and become free from confusion, he did not argue further but listened quietly, absorbed and pleased.
Approach spiritual learning with attentive hearing and humility; when clarity comes, let it mature through silence and reflection rather than constant debate—this cultivates steady faith and inner contentment.
