Содержание книги
- O powerful lord! This arrow of burning iron is pursuing me. O Lord! Let it burn me up! But let it not kill by child!
- O best of sages! Seeing five flaming arrows headed towards them, the Pāṇḍavas then took up their weapons.
- O Śaunaka! Though the brahmāstra is effective and cannot be prevented from acting, on meeting the weapon of Viṣṇu, it became completely ineffective.
- How can we women hope to see you, the object of bhakti for the omniscient, liberated sages?
- I repeatedly offer respects to Kṛṣṇa, the son of Vasudeva, who gave joy to Devakī, who was the child of Nanda and satisfier of the senses of the gopīs.

- O guru of the universe! May we have dangers in such situations continually, because in those dangers we will see you, and by that we will gain release from this material world.
- No one knows the intentions of the Lord who desires to hide himself in human form, who does not show favor or hatred to anyone, and about whom all men have different opinions.
- O soul of the universe! You are unborn and perform no actions, but you take birth and perform activities in the forms of animals, men and aquatics. This is extremely deceptive.
- Some say that you, though unborn, appeared as the son of Vasudeva in Devakī upon their request, in order to protect the world and kill the demons.
- Without your presence who are we, the Pāṇḍavas along with the Yadus with their fame and strength? We are like the senses without the jīva.
- O holder of the club! When you go, this land, marked with the special signs on your feet, will not glow as it does now.
- O brāhmaṇas! Yudhiṣṭhira, thinking of the killing of his friends, overcome with bewilderment arising from affection, due to material thinking, then spoke.

- O King! No one can understand the plan of Kṛṣṇa because even those engaged in reasoning and scripture are bewildered by that inquiry.
- Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa, the original Nārāyaṇa, the puruṣa, who bewilders the world with his energy, secretly moves in the Yādava family.
- You think of Kṛṣṇa as your cousin, as a dear friend, as your selfless helper, and out of affection made him your counselor, messenger, and charioteer.
- Yudhiṣṭhira, hearing what he had said, then asked Bhīṣma, lying on a bed of arrows, about various dharmas while the sages were listening.

- The actors, dancers, singers, reciters, bards and eulogists sang about the astonishing activities of the Lord.
- Entering the house of his parents, embraced by seven mothers, headed by Devakī, he offered respects with his head to them.
- Hearts trembling with joy, milk flowing from their breasts, they put Kṛṣṇa on their laps, and moistened them with their tears.

TRANSLATION
Śaunaka said:
After killing the enemy desiring his rightful kingdom, how did Yudhiṣṭhira, the best of righteous men, enjoying what he had won back, take up ruling the kingdom along with his younger brothers? What did he do?
COMMENTARY
In tenth chapter describes how Kṛṣṇa after placing the Pāṇḍavas in the kingdom without obstacles went to Dvārakā and was praised by the Yādavas.
Since it was mentioned in a general way that with the agreement of Kṛṣṇa the Pāṇḍavas ruled the kingdom, the inquisitive ask about this. The enemies desired his wealth (svarikthe). They obtained it, and then he took it back from them (pratyavaruddha) and was able to enjoy it.

sūta uvāca—
vaṁśaṁ kuror vaṁśa-davāgni-nirhṛtaṁ
saṁrohayitvā bhava-bhāvano hariḥ |
niveśayitvā nija-rājya īśvaro
yudhiṣṭhiraṁ prīta-manā babhūva ha ||
TRANSLATION
Sūta said:
Kṛṣṇa, upon whom Ṣiva meditates, became pleased, having increased the Kuru family which was destroyed by the forest fire of anger, by protecting Parīkṣit, and by installing Yudhiṣṭhira in his rightful kingdom.
COMMENTARY
The answer shows that he took up the ruling of the country only after seeing that Kṛṣṇa was pleased. He increased the Kuru family, which had been destroyed by the fire (of anger) in the bamboo forest, by saving Parīkṣit. Just as the bamboo burns by the fire ignited by rubbing of the bamboos, the Kuru family was destroyed by a war which arose from mutual anger. Kṛṣṇa makes even Śiva (bhava) meditate on his pastimes (bhāvanaḥ).
|| 1.10.3 ||
niśamya bhīṣmoktam athācyutoktaṁ
pravṛtta-vijñāna-vidhūta-vibhramaḥ |
śaśāsa gām indra ivājitāśrayaḥ
paridhyupāntām anujānuvartitaḥ ||
TRANSLATION
After hearing the words of Bhīṣma and Kṛṣṇa, and thereby gaining knowledge and removing ignorance, Yudhiṣṭhira, having taken shelter of Kṛṣṇa, ruled the earth extending to the oceans with the cooperation of his brothers, just as Indra, having taken shelter of Upendra, rules over heaven extending in all directions with the compliance of Upendra.
COMMENTARY
The knowledge which appeared (pravṛtta-vijñāna) was that the world is dependent on the Lord, and is not independent. He was free of the illusion that I am the doer (vidhūta-vibhramaḥ). Gām means earth and heaven. Ajita refers to Kṛṣṇa and Upendra (Indra takes shelter of Upendra.) Paridhi means ocean and also all directions upwards as well (in the case of Indra). Anujānuvartitaḥ means with the compliance of his younger brothers, or with the compliance of his younger brother Upendra (in the case of Indra).

TRANSLATION
The clouds rained sufficient water, the earth yielded all desired products and the cows with full udders in joy sprinkled milk in the cow pens.
COMMENTARY
Udhasvatī means full udders.
