gadam udyamya karuso
mukundam praha durmadah
distya distya bhavan adya
mama drsti-patham gatah
Translation:
Raising his club, the reckless King of Karusa said to Lord Mukunda, “What luck! What luck — to have You come before me today!
Purport:
Srila Sridhara Svami explains that after having waited for three lifetimes, Dantavakra, formerly a gatekeeper in Vaikuntha, could now return to the spiritual world. Therefore the transcendental meaning of his statement is: “How fortunate! How fortunate I am that today I can return to my constitutional position in the spiritual world!”
In the next verse, Dantavakra will refer to Krsna as matuleya, a maternal cousin. Dantavakra’s mother, Srutasrava, was the sister of Krsna’s father, Vasudeva.
