निशाम्य कृष्णस्य तदात्मवैभवं व्रजौकसो विस्मितचेतसस्तत: । समाप्य तस्मिन् नियमं पुनर्व्रजं नृपाययुस्तत् कथयन्त आदृता: ॥ १९ ॥
niśāmya kṛṣṇasya tad ātma-vaibhavaṁ vrajaukaso vismita-cetasas tataḥ samāpya tasmin niyamaṁ punar vrajaṁ ṇṛpāyayus tat kathayanta ādṛtāḥ
Al ver el poder soberano y propio de Śrī Kṛṣṇa, los moradores de Vraja quedaron asombrados. Oh Rey, luego concluyeron su observancia de adoración a Śiva y regresaron a Vraja, relatando en el camino, con reverencia, las hazañas poderosas de Kṛṣṇa.
FAQs
This verse says the residents of Vraja became astonished upon seeing Kṛṣṇa’s personal divine majesty, and they returned home reverently narrating the incident—showing how devotees respond with wonder and devotional remembrance.
Śukadeva is narrating the Vraja-līlā directly to Parīkṣit; the address “nṛpa” marks the ongoing teacher-disciple narration and keeps the listener (the King) engaged in the sacred account.
Like the Vrajavāsīs, regularly reflect on and share Kṛṣṇa’s līlās—through reading, kīrtana, or discussion—so spiritual impressions deepen and daily life becomes centered on devotion rather than distraction.
