śrī-bhagavān uvāca
aho vayaḿ janma-bhṛto
labdhaḿ kārtsnyena tat-phalam
devānām api duṣprāpaḿ
yad yogeśvara-darśanam
sri-bhagavan uvaca -- the Supreme Lord said; aho -- ah; vayam -- we; janma-bhritah -- having taken birth successfully; labdham -- obtained; kartsnyena -- altogether; tat -- of it (one's birth); phalam -- the fruit; devanam -- for demigods; api -- even; dushprapam -- rarely obtained; yat -- which; yoga-isvara -- of masters of yoga; darsanam -- the sight.
The Supreme Lord said: Now our lives are indeed successful, for we have obtained life's ultimate goal: the audience of great yoga masters, which even demigods only rarely obtain.
Despite the great privileges the demigods enjoy as administrators of the universe, they rarely see such sages as Narada and Vyasadeva. How much rarer, then, must it be for earthly kings and mere cowherds to see them. Here Lord Krishna, identifying Himself with all the kings and others who had assembled at Samanta-pancaka, speaks on their behalf.
