Citraketu’s Detachment, Nārada’s Mantra, and the Darśana of Anantadeva
श्रीशुक उवाच संस्तुतो भगवानेवमनन्तस्तमभाषत । विद्याधरपतिं प्रीतश्चित्रकेतुं कुरूद्वह ॥ ४९ ॥
śrī-śuka uvāca saṁstuto bhagavān evam anantas tam abhāṣata vidyādhara-patiṁ prītaś citraketuṁ kurūdvaha
舒迦提婆·高斯瓦弥继续说道:至上人格神阿难陀提婆因维达达罗之王奇特罗凯图的赞颂而大为欢喜,便如此答复他。噢帕利克希特,库鲁族中最杰出者。
In this verse, after being properly praised, Lord Ananta directly speaks to Citraketu, showing that the Lord reciprocates with heartfelt devotion and sincere glorification.
Because Citraketu had offered praise and devotion; the narrative emphasizes the Lord’s merciful reciprocation—He becomes pleased and personally instructs His devotee.
Offer sincere prayers and glorification with humility; this verse highlights that devotion is meant to become a living relationship—seeking guidance and transformation through genuine bhakti.
