Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 13


Sanskrit:

श्वोभूते विश्वभावेन स्वसुखेनाभिवन्दित: ।जगाम स्वालयं तात पथ्यनुव्रज्य नन्दित: ॥ १३ ॥

ITRANS:

śvo-bhūte viśva-bhāvenasva-sukhenābhivanditaḥjagāma svālayaṁ tātapathy anavrajya nanditaḥ

Translation:

The next day, Sudāmā set off for home while being honored by Lord Kṛṣṇa, the self-satisfied maintainer of the universe. The brāhmaṇa felt greatly delighted, my dear King, as he walked along the road.

Purport:

We are here reminded that Lord Kṛṣṇa maintains the supply of desirable objects for the whole universe. Therefore it is to be understood that He was about to manifest for Sudāmā opulence greater than Indra’s. Being sva-sukha, perfectly complete in His own bliss, the Lord has an unlimited capacity for bestowing gifts. According to Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, the word abhivanditaḥ indicates that Śrī Kṛṣṇa accompanied Sudāmā on the road for a short distance and finally parted with the brāhmaṇa after bowing down to him and speaking some respectful words.
