Purport:
The word sadrsim indicates that the lovely princess was a fitting bride for the Lord because she possessed wonderful transcendental qualities that complemented His. As Srila Jiva Gosvami points out, the word vismitah indicates that King Nagnajit was certainly astonished at the many extraordinary events suddenly taking place in his life.
Translation:
As the dowry, powerful King Nagnajit gave ten thousand cows, three thousand young maidservants wearing golden ornaments on their necks and bedecked in fine clothing, nine thousand elephants, a hundred times as many chariots as elephants, a hundred times as many horses as chariots, and a hundred times as many manservants as horses.
