TEXT No. 19

Maharsaya vai samapugata yeh
Prasasya sadhu iti anumodamanah
Uchuh prajanugraha seelasara
Yad uttamasloka gunabhirupam.


ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Maharsaya—the great sages, Vai—as a matter of course, Samupagata—assembled there, Yeh—those who, Pasasya—by praising, Sadhu—quite all right, Iti—thus, Anumodamanah—all approving, Uchuh—said, Prajanugraha—doing good to the living being, Seelasara—qualitatively powerful, Yad—because, Uttamasloka—One who is praised by selected poems, Gunabhirupam—as beautiful as Godly qualities.


TRANSLATION

All the great sages assembled there, praised the decision of Maharaj Parikshit and they expressed their approval by saying 'very good'. Naturally the sages are inclined to do good to the common man as they are qualitatively powerful like the supreme Lord. As such they were very much pleased to see Maharaj Parikshit a devotee of the Lord and said like this.


PURPORT

Natural beauty of a living being is enhanced by rising upto the platform of devotional service. Maharaj Parikshit was so much absorbed in the matter of attachment for Lord Krishna and seeing this the great sages assembled there were too much pleased and they expressed their approval by saying 'very good'. Such sages are naturally inclined to do good to the common man and when they see a personality like Maharaj Parikshit advanced in devotional service, their pleasure knows no bound and they offer all blessings in their power. Devotional service of the Lord is so auspicious that all demigods, sages upto the Lord Himself all become pleased with the devotee and therefore the devotee finds everything auspicious for him and all inauspicious matter becomes extinct from the path of a progressive devotee. Meeting all the great sages at the time of death, was certainly all auspicious for Maharaj Parikshit, and as such a devotee like Maharaj Parikshit is blessed even by the so-called cursing of a Brahmin's boy.
