यदि त्वनुग्रहं कंचित् त्वत्तोडहामि जनार्दन । द्रष्टमिच्छामि ते रूपमैश्वरं तन्निदर्शय

“Jika aku layak menerima sebarang kurnia daripadamu, wahai Janārdana, maka aku ingin menyaksikan rupa ketuhananmu yang berdaulat. Perlihatkanlah rupa itu kepadaku, wahai Janārdana.”

Educational Q&A
The verse frames divine revelation as a matter of grace (anugraha) rather than entitlement: the seeker approaches with humility and a focused desire for direct spiritual insight (darśana) of the Lord’s aiśvarya (sovereign divinity).
Uttanka addresses Kṛṣṇa as Janārdana and petitions him for a boon: to be shown Kṛṣṇa’s aiśvara (divine, lordly) form, expressing an intense wish to witness it directly.
