Å›rÄ«-Å›ukaḥ uvÄca - ÅšrÄ« Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« said; iti - thus; ÄtmÄnam - about the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Soul; samÄdiÅ›ya - after fully instructing; garge - when Gargamuni; ca - also; sva-gá¹›ham - to his own abode; gate - had departed; nandaḥ - MahÄrÄja Nanda; pramuditaḥ - became extremely pleased; mene - considered; ÄtmÄnam - his own self; pÅ«rṇam ÄÅ›iá¹£Äm - full of all good fortune.
ÅšrÄ«la Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« continued: After Garga Muni, having instructed Nanda MahÄrÄja about Kṛṣṇa, departed for his own home, Nanda MahÄrÄja was very pleased and considered himself full of all good fortune.
Kṛṣṇa is the Supersoul, and Nanda MahÄrÄja is the individual soul. By the instructions of Garga Muni, both of them were blessed. Nanda MahÄrÄja was thinking of Kṛṣṇa’s safety from the hands of demons like PÅ«tanÄ and Åšakaá¹Äsura, and because he possessed such a son, he thought of himself as most fortunate.
