Uttanka’s Guru-Śuśrūṣā and the Commission to Retrieve the Maṇikuṇḍalas (उत्तङ्क-गुरुशुश्रूषा तथा मणिकुण्डल-आदेशः)
पर्याप्त एष एवाद्य वरस्त्वत्तो महद्युते । यत् ते रूपमिदं कृष्ण पश्यामि पुरुषोत्तम,“महातेजस्वी पुरुषोत्तम श्रीकृष्ण! आपके इस स्वरूपका जो मैं दर्शन कर रहा हूँ, यही मेरे लिये आज आपकी ओरसे बहुत बड़ा वरदान प्राप्त हो गया'
vaiśampāyana uvāca | paryāpta eṣa evādya varas tvatto mahadyute | yat te rūpam idaṃ kṛṣṇa paśyāmi puruṣottama ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: “Wahai Yang Maha Perkasa dan bercahaya agung! Pada hari ini, bagiku cukuplah satu anugerah ini sahaja—bahawa aku dapat menyaksikan sendiri wujud dan rupa-Mu, wahai Kṛṣṇa, wahai Puruṣottama, Insan Tertinggi.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse elevates divine darśana (direct vision of the revered Lord) as the highest blessing: rather than asking for external gains, the devotee regards the experience of Kṛṣṇa’s presence and form as complete fulfillment, modeling gratitude and spiritual prioritization.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, a speaker addresses Kṛṣṇa with reverence, declaring that merely seeing Kṛṣṇa’s form is itself a sufficient and supreme boon granted by him, implying a moment of devotional encounter and acknowledgment of Kṛṣṇa’s exalted status.
