WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Then King Nagnajit, pleased and astonished, presented his daughter to Lord Kṛṣṇa. The Supreme Personality of Godhead accepted this suitable bride in the proper Vedic fashion.

PURPORT

The word sadṛśīm indicates that the lovely princess was a fitting bride for the Lord because she possessed wonderful transcendental qualities that complemented His. As Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī points out, the word vismitaḥ indicates that King Nagnajit was certainly astonished at the many extraordinary events suddenly taking place in his life.
