sa evaṁ bhāryayā vipro
bahuśaḥ prārthito muhuḥ
ayaṁ hi paramo lābha
uttamaḥśloka-darśanam

gamanāya matiṁ dadhe
apy asty upāyanaṁ kiñcid
gṛhe kalyāṇi dīyatām
WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
 | [Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued:] When his wife thus repeatedly implored him in various ways, the brāhmaṇa thought to himself, “To see Lord Kṛṣṇa is indeed the greatest achievement in life.” Thus he decided to go, but first he told her, “My good wife, if there is anything in the house I can bring as a gift, please give it to me.”
|
PURPORT
| | Sudāmā was naturally humble, and thus although at first he was dissatisfied with his wife’s proposal, finally he settled his mind and decided to go. Now the last detail was that he had to take a gift for his friend.
