How He (the son of Vyasa) was recognised by the citizens when he entered the city of Hastinapur (now Delhi) after first wondering in the provinces of Kuru and Jangal, appearing like a mad man dumb and stunted.

The present city of Delhi was formerly known as Hastinapur on account of its first being established by the King Hasti, Goswami Sukdeva after being out of His paternal home was roaming like a mad man dumb and stunted and therefore it was very difficult for thc citizens to recognise Him in His exhalted position. A sage is not therefore recognised by seeing but he is recognised by hearing. One should approach a Sadhu or great sage not for seeing but for hearing him. If one is not prepared to give an aural reception to the words of a Sadhu there is no change or gaining anything from such Sadhu. Sukdeva Goswami was a Sadhu who could speak on transcendental activities of the Lord. He was not for satisfying the whims of ordinary citizens. He was recognised when He spoke on the subject of Bhagwatam and He never attempted to make show of jugglery like a magician, chemist or physician. Outwardly He appeared to be a stunted dumb mad man but in fact He was the most elevated transcendental personality.

How was he [Śrīla Śukadeva, the son of Vyāsa] recognized by the citizens when he entered the city of Hastināpura [now Delhi], after wandering in the provinces of Kuru and Jāṅgala, appearing like a madman, dumb and retarded?

The present city of Delhi was formerly known as Hastināpura because it was first established by King Hastī. Gosvāmī Śukadeva, after leaving his paternal home, was roaming like a madman, and therefore it was very difficult for the citizens to recognize him in his exalted position. A sage is not, therefore, recognized by sight, but by hearing. One should approach a #i#sādhu#/i# or great sage not to see but to hear him. If one is not prepared to hear the words of a #i#sādhu#/i#, there is no profit. Śukadeva Gosvāmī was a #i#sādhu#/i# who could speak on the transcendental activities of the Lord. He did not satisfy the whims of ordinary citizens. He was recognized when he spoke on the subject of #i#Bhāgavatam#/i#, and he never attempted jugglery like a magician. Outwardly he appeared to be a retarded, dumb madman, but in fact he was the most elevated transcendental personality.
