Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 30


Sanskrit:

शुश्रूषतामव्यलीकमस्माकं नरपुङ्गव ।स्वजन्म कर्म गोत्रं वा कथ्यतां यदि रोचते ॥ ३० ॥

ITRANS:

śuśrūṣatām avyalīkamasmākaṁ nara-puṅgavasva-janma karma gotraṁ vākathyatāṁ yadi rocate

Translation:

O best among men, if You like, please truly describe Your birth, activities and lineage to us, who are eager to hear.

Purport:

When the Supreme Lord descends to this world, He certainly becomes nara-puṅgava, the most eminent member of human society. Of course, the Lord is not actually a human being, and Mucukunda’s questions will lead to a clarification of this point. Thus the term śuśrūṣatām, “to us, who are sincerely eager to hear,” indicates that Mucukunda is inquiring in a noble way for his own and others’ benefit.
