Verse 2.1.135

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.1.135:

प्रकृत्यैव न जानामि मथुरा-ब्राह्मणोत्तम ।
अस्माद् विलक्षणः कश्चित् क्वाप्य् अस्ति जगद्-ईश्वरः ॥ १३५ ॥

prakṛtyaiva na jānāmi mathurā-brāhmaṇottama |
asmād vilakṣaṇaḥ kaścit kvāpy asti jagad-īśvaraḥ || 135 ||

prakṛtyā–due to my simple nature; eva–indeed; na–not; jānāmi–I was not aware; māthura–of Mathurā; brāhmaṇa-uttama–O exalted brāhmaṇa; asmāt–of him; vilakṣaṇaḥ–separate (manifestation); kaścit–any; kva api–somewhere else; asti–there is; jagad-īśvaraḥ–the Supreme Lord of the universe.

O exalted brāhmaṇa of Mathurā, I really did not know if, apart from this śālagrāma manifestation of the Supreme Lord, whether any other manifestation of the Lord was also present somewhere else.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

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

The Mathurā brāhmaṇa might say, “The Supreme Lord of the universe exists in various forms and in different places, relishing many types of offerings, so why were you lamenting?” In reply, Gopa-kumāra speaks this verse beginning with prakṛtyaiva. He says, “In truth, besides the form of Jagadīśvara who was visible as Śālagrāma, I did not know that any other form of the Lord also existed anywhere.”
