Kṛṣṇa Visits Trivakrā; Akrūra’s Praise and the Hastināpura Mission
दिष्ट्या जनार्दन भवानिह न: प्रतीतो योगेश्वरैरपि दुरापगति: सुरेशै: । छिन्ध्याशु न: सुतकलत्रधनाप्तगेह- देहादिमोहरशनां भवदीयमायाम् ॥ २७ ॥
diṣṭyā janārdana bhavān iha naḥ pratīto yogeśvarair api durāpa-gatiḥ sureśaiḥ chindhy āśu naḥ suta-kalatra-dhanāpta-geha- dehādi-moha-raśanāṁ bhavadīya-māyām
Par notre immense fortune, ô Janārdana, Tu te rends visible ici pour nous; même les maîtres du yoga et les plus grands devas n’atteignent ce but qu’avec peine. De grâce, tranche vite les cordes de notre attachement illusoire aux enfants, à l’épouse, aux richesses, aux amis influents, à la maison et au corps; tout cela n’est que l’effet de Ta māyā.
FAQs
This verse portrays māyā as a “rope of delusion” binding one to family, wealth, home, and body, and teaches that only Kṛṣṇa’s grace can cut that bondage quickly.
Seeing Kṛṣṇa directly, Akrura recognizes that worldly ties are products of the Lord’s māyā and asks for liberation from those bindings so his devotion may be undivided.
Treat relationships and possessions as responsibilities rather than identity, and regularly pray for devotion and clarity so attachment to the body and ego does not dominate one’s choices.
