- evaṁ tadaiva bhagavān aravinda-nābhaḥ
- svānāṁ vibudhya sad-atikramam ārya-hṛdyaḥ
- tasmin yayau paramahaṁsa-mahā-munīnām
- anveṣaṇīya-caraṇau calayan saha-śrīḥ
evamthus — thus; tadāat that very moment evaat that very moment — at that very moment; bhagavānthe Supreme Personality of Godhead — the Supreme Personality of Godhead; aravindawith a lotus growing from His navel-nābhaḥwith a lotus growing from His navel — with a lotus growing from His navel; svānāmof His own servants — of His own servants; vibudhyalearned about — learned about; satto the great sages — to the great sages; atikramamthe insult — the insult; āryaof the righteous — of the righteous; hṛdyaḥthe delight — the delight; tasminthere — there; yayauwent — went; paramahaṁsarecluses — recluses; mahāby the great sages-munīnāmby the great sages — by the great sages; anveṣaṇīyawhich are worthy to be sought — which are worthy to be sought; caraṇauthe two lotus feet — the two lotus feet; calayanwalking — walking; sahawith the goddess of fortune-śrīḥwith the goddess of fortune — with the goddess of fortune.
At that very moment, the Lord, who is called Padmanābha because of the lotus grown from His navel and who is the delight of the righteous, learned about the insult offered by His own servants to the saints. Accompanied by His spouse, the goddess of fortune, He went to the spot on those very feet sought for by recluses and great sages.
In Bhagavad-gītā the Lord declares that His devotees cannot be vanquished at any time. The Lord could understand that the quarrel between the doormen and the sages was taking a different turn, and therefore He instantly came out of His place and went to the spot to stop further aggravation so that His devotees, the doormen, might not be vanquished for good.
