The Recitation of the Thousand Names of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa (Yugala-Sahasranāma) and Śaraṇāgati-Dharma
यशोदातर्जितः कंपी मायारुदितशोभनः । दामोदरोऽप्रमेयात्मा दयालुर्भक्तवत्सलः ॥ ५० ॥
yaśodātarjitaḥ kaṃpī māyāruditaśobhanaḥ | dāmodaro'prameyātmā dayālurbhaktavatsalaḥ || 50 ||
Run rẩy khi bị mẹ Yaśodā quở trách, và càng thêm mỹ lệ bởi tiếng khóc huyễn hóa—Ngài là Dāmodara, Tự Ngã vô lượng: đầy lòng từ mẫn, và hết mực yêu thương các bhakta của Ngài.
Narada (in narration/teaching context to the Sanatkumara tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: karuna
It highlights the paradox of the immeasurable Supreme becoming ‘measurable’ through loving devotion—Dāmodara accepts Yaśodā’s parental authority to reveal bhakta-vātsalya.
Bhakti is shown as intimacy with God: the Lord responds to sincere love, even allowing Himself to be scolded and bound, proving His compassion and closeness to devotees.
Primarily a bhakti-līlā passage rather than a Vedāṅga rule; the practical takeaway is sādhana through nāma-smaraṇa and līlā-smaraṇa—devotional recollection of Dāmodara’s qualities.
