Verse 1.3.25

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.3.25:

चित्रकेतु-प्रभृतयोऽधियोऽप्य् अंशाश्रिता हरेः ।
निन्दका यद्यपि स्वस्य तेभ्योऽकुप्यस् तथापि न ॥ २५ ॥

citraketu-prabhṛtayo'dhiyo'py aṃśāśritā hareḥ |
nindakā yadyapi svasya tebhyo'kupyas tathāpi na || 25 ||

Despite criticism from Citraketu and others, you never showed any anger towards them. Being under the shelter of the plenary expansion of Bhagavān Śrī Hari, Śrī Saṅkarṣaṇa, they are ignorant of your glories.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

In this way, knowing the behavior of the ancestry of Gārga and others as improper Vaiṣṇava behavior (avaiṣṇava), you did not offer them any clear-cut boon without a loophole (as suggested in the previous śloka). Regarding this topic on envy, if someone has even the slightest connection with Śrī Viṣṇu, He does not neglect him in spite of being insulted. This is what Śrī Nārada elucidates in this verse beginning with citraketu.

Citraketu Mahārāja has taken shelter in the aṃśāvatāra, or plenary portion of Śrī Hari, Śrī Śeṣa-deva. Although Śrī Śeṣa is an āvatāra of Śrī Balarāma, still Śrī Balarāma is nondifferent from Śrī Kṛṣṇa and thus Śrī Citraketu is a portion of the plenary portion of Śrī Hari. Actually, Citraketu is not fully cognizant; rather, he does not fully comprehend the truth of Śrī Śiva (śiva-tattva). Therefore, despite the criticism of the unsuspecting Citraketu, you did not become angry with him.
