Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 5 Text 8


yo brahma-rudrādi-samādhi-durlabho
vedokti-tātparya-viśeṣa-gocaraḥ
śrīmān nṛsiṁhaḥ kila vāmanaś ca
śrī-rāghavendro ’pi yad-aṁśa-rūpaḥ


TRANSLATION
For Brahmā, Rudra, and other demigods He is difficult to realize even in advanced meditation. He can be known through the words of the Vedas only when one understands their special purport. Śrīmān Nṛsiṁha, Śrī Vāmana, and Śrī Rāghavendra are His plenary expansions.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 33


athāgataṁ guru-gṛhāt
tvat-prabhuṁ prati kiñcana
saṅkṣepeṇaiva tad-vṛttaṁ
duḥkhād akathayaṁ ku-dhīḥ


TRANSLATION
But I am not very intelligent. After your Lord returned from the house of His spiritual master, my sadness drove me to tell Him briefly how the Vraja-vāsīs were faring.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Texts 31-32


ahaṁ śrī-vasudevena
samānītā tato yadā
yaśodāyā mahārtāyās
tadānīntana-rodanaiḥ

grāvo ’pi rodity aśaner
apy antar dalati dhruvam
jīvan-mṛtānām anyāsāṁ
vārtāṁ ko ’pi mukhaṁ nayet


TRANSLATION
When Śrī Vasudeva brought me back from Gokula, the cries of the greatly distraught Yaśodā made even stones shed tears and lightning bolts shatter. And who can let the mouth speak about the other women of Vraja, who after Kṛṣṇa left became like living corpses?

śrī-parīkṣid uvāca
tad-vākya-tattvaṁ vijñāya
rohiṇī sāsram abravīt
cira-gokula-vāsena
tatratya-jana-sammatā


TRANSLATION
Śrī Parīkṣit said: Because Rohiṇī had long lived in Gokula, its residents held her in high regard. She knew the inner meaning of Uddhava’s words. So with tears in her eyes, she decided to speak.

tata eva hi kṛṣṇasya
tat-prasādasya cādbhutā
tat-premṇo ’pi mayā jñātā
mādhurī tadvatāṁ tathā


TRANSLATION
Since then I have understood the amazing sweetness of Kṛṣṇa’s mercy, of love for Him, and of those who possess that love.
