Å›rÄ«-Å›ukaḥ uvÄca - ÅšrÄ« Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« said; iti - thus; bruvÄṇam - speaking; viduram - unto Vidura; vinÄ«tam - very gentle; sahasra-śīrṣṇaḥ - the Personality of Godhead Kṛṣṇa; caraṇa - lotus feet; upadhÄnam - pillow; prahṛṣá¹a-romÄ - hairs standing in ecstasy; bhagavat - in relationship with the Personality of Godhead; kathÄyÄm - in the words; praṇīyamÄnaḥ - being influenced by such spirit; muniḥ - the sage; abhyacaá¹£á¹a - attempted to speak.
ÅšrÄ« Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« said: The Personality of Godhead, ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa, was pleased to place His lotus feet on the lap of Vidura because Vidura was very meek and gentle. The sage Maitreya was very pleased with Vidura’s words, and, being influenced by his spirit, he attempted to speak.
The word sahasra-śīrṣṇaḥ is very significant. One who has diverse energies and activities and a wonderful brain is known as the sahasra-śīrṣṇaḥ. This qualification is applicable only to the Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and no one else. The Personality of Godhead was pleased to dine sometimes with Vidura at his home, and while resting He placed His lotus feet on the lap of Vidura. Maitreya was inspired by the thought of Vidura’s wonderful fortune. The hairs of his body stood on end, and he was pleased to narrate the topics of the Personality of Godhead with great delight.
