Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 9


Sanskrit:

श्रीभगवानुवाचअहो वयं जन्मभृतो लब्धं कार्त्स्‍न्येन तत्फलम् ।देवानामपि दुष्प्रापं यद् योगेश्वरदर्शनम् ॥ ९ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-bhagavān uvācaaho vayaṁ janma-bhṛtolabdhaṁ kārtsnyena tat-phalamdevānām api duṣprāpaṁyad yogeśvara-darśanam

Translation:

The Supreme Lord said: Now our lives are indeed successful, for we have obtained life’s ultimate goal: the audience of great yoga masters, which even demigods only rarely obtain.

Purport:

Despite the great privileges the demigods enjoy as administrators of the universe, they rarely see such sages as Nārada and Vyāsadeva. How much rarer, then, must it be for earthly kings and mere cowherds to see them. Here Lord Kṛṣṇa, identifying Himself with all the kings and others who had assembled at Samanta-pañcaka, speaks on their behalf.
