Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.1.61:

श्री-नारद उवाच—
त्वं श्री-कृष्ण-कृपा-पात्रं यस्येदृग् राज्य-वैभवम् ।
सल्-लोक-गुण-धर्मार्थ-ज्ञान-भक्तिभिर् अन्वितम् ॥ ६१ ॥

śrī-nārada uvāca—
tvaṃ śrī-kṛṣṇa-kṛpā-pātraṃ yasyedṛg rājya-vaibhavam |
sal-loka-guṇa-dharmārtha-jñāna-bhaktibhir anvitam || 61 ||

Śrī Nārada said: O King, you are surely the recipient of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s mercy, because you possess the opulence of such a vast kingdom where your citizens engage with natural dispositions, while decorated by religious principles, wealth, knowledge and bhakti.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

The sage among demigods, Devarṣi Śrī Nārada, said, “O King, in your entire kingdom your citizens engage in following their natural occupational duties…”

Guṇa means a conglomerate of qualities like the absence of false pride and affectionate guardianship for the citizens by such activities as the propagation of bhagavad-bhakti. Dharma refers to those pious merits earned by offering foodstuffs to such persons as renounced mendicants. Artha tacitly means using wealth properly for the paraphernalia needed for the pūjā of Bhagavān, and to protect the opulence of the kingdom with an eager mood of service to Bhagavān. Jñāna means the discrimination that has arisen due to following the bona fide scriptures that bestow liberation. That discrimination culminates in service to Śrī Bhagavān. Bhakti refers to service to Bhagavān performed with devotion.
