बर्बरीक उवाच । प्रणम्य त्वामादिदेवं मनोबुद्धिसमाधिभिः । प्रक्ष्यामि केन श्रेयः स्याज्जंतोर्जातस्य माधव
barbarīka uvāca | praṇamya tvāmādidevaṃ manobuddhisamādhibhiḥ | prakṣyāmi kena śreyaḥ syājjaṃtorjātasya mādhava
婆婆利迦说道:我以心、智与凝定之观,顶礼于您这位本初之主。摩陀婆啊,我请问:众生既已出生,凭何而得至上之善?
Barbarīka
Listener: Śrī Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava)
Scene: Barbarīka bows deeply to Kṛṣṇa, offering mental, intellectual, and contemplative homage, then asks the central question: what brings the highest good to a born being?
Human life is meant for seeking śreyas (the highest good), approached through reverence, inner collectedness, and sincere questioning.
No specific site is praised in this verse; it introduces a dharma-philosophical inquiry.
None explicitly; the verse highlights pranāma (reverential bowing) and focused mind as prerequisites for inquiry.
