yo hi nityam ahaho mahā-prabhoś
citra-citra-bhajanāmṛtārṇavaḥ

TRANSLATION
Śrī Nārada said: Yes, you are the greatest recipient of the mercy of the Supreme Lord. No one can compare to you. Ah! You are always immersed in an ocean of ecstatic worship of the Lord, enjoying it as newer and newer at every moment.

śrī-parīkṣid uvāca

jananī dhṛṣṭa-ceṣṭitā
jarā-hata-vicārā sā
sa-śiraḥ-kampam abravīt

Śrī Parīkṣit said: Upon hearing this, the mother of the wicked Kaṁsa spoke out, her head shaking, her manner bold, her judgment spoiled by old age.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 6 Texts 36-38


mama pratyakṣam evedaṁ
yadā kṛṣṇo vraje ’vrajat
tato hi pūtanādibhyaḥ
keśy-antebhyo muhur muhuḥ

daityebhyo varuṇendrādi-
devebhyo ’jagarāditaḥ
tathā cirantana-svīya-
śakaṭārjuna-bhaṅgataḥ

ko vā nopadravas tatra
jāto vraja-vināśakaḥ
tatratyās tu janāḥ kiñcit
te ’nusandadhate na tat


TRANSLATION
My own experience is this: When Kṛṣṇa lived in Vraja, so many calamities threatened to destroy it. Vraja was disturbed by demons, from Pūtanā to Keśī, by demigods like Varuṇa and Indra, by creatures like the python, and by the falling of familiar things at Kṛṣṇa’s house like the cart and the arjuna trees. But to these dangers the residents paid no regard.

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?
