<< VERSE 30 >>
śuśrūṣatām avyalīkam asmākaṁ nara-puṅgava sva-janma karma gotraṁ vā kathyatāṁ yadi rocate
WORD BY WORD
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.
