Shloka 11
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
vaiśampāyana uvāca | paryāpta eṣa evādya varas tvatto mahadyute | yat te rūpam idaṃ kṛṣṇa paśyāmi puruṣottama ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: “Ô bậc đại oai quang! Hôm nay, đối với ta, chỉ riêng điều này đã đủ làm ân huệ—rằng ta được chiêm bái chính dung mạo của Ngài, hỡi Kṛṣṇa, hỡi Đấng Tối Thượng (Puruṣottama).”
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.
