इसी कारण, वहाँ सन्तुष्ट न होते हुए, और प्रिय-वर्ग-समन्वितत्व का उदाहरण देने को उद्यत होकर, वे आगे कहते हैं — "यूयम्"।

"Ah, the fortune of Prahlāda, by whom Bhagavān was seen!"
"अहो प्रह्लाद का भाग्य — जिसने भगवान् को देखा!"
vayaṁ tu manda-bhāgyā iti viṣīdantaṁ rājānaṁ prati yūyaṁ prahlādāt, prahlāda-guror matto’py anyebhyo’pi bhaktebhyaḥ |
To the king who was lamenting, "But we are of meager fortune," (Nārada says) you — more than Prahlāda, more than Prahlāda's guru, more than me, more than other devotees too —
"हम तो मन्द-भाग्य हैं" — ऐसा विषाद करते हुए राजा के प्रति (नारद कहते हैं) आप — प्रह्लाद से, प्रह्लाद के गुरु से, मुझसे, अन्य भक्तों से भी —
yadu-guru-prabhṛtibhyo’pi vaśiṣṭa-marīci-kaśyapādi-ṛsibhyo’pi, brahma-rudrābhyām api, bhūri-saubhāgyavanta ity āha nāradaḥ—yūyam iti |
more than the Yadus' guru and the rest, more than the ṛṣis such as Vasiṣṭha, Marīci, and Kaśyapa, more than Brahmā and Rudra too, are possessed of abundant good fortune — so says Nārada, beginning with "yūyam."
यदु-गुरु आदि से भी, वसिष्ठ, मरीचि, कश्यप आदि ऋषियों से भी, ब्रह्मा और रुद्र से भी, अधिक सौभाग्यवान् हैं — ऐसा नारद "यूयम्" से कहते हैं।
yūyaṁ nṛṇāṁ jīvānāṁ loka-madhye bhūri-bhāgāḥ |
On yūyaṁ and bhūri-bhāgāḥ — You, among the world of men, the living beings, are most fortunate.
yūyaṁ, bhūri-bhāgāḥ — आप मनुष्यों, अर्थात् जीवों, के लोक में परम भाग्यशाली हैं।
yeṣāṁ yuṣmākaṁ gṛhān lokaṁ sva-darśanādinā pavitrīkurvanto’pi munayo’bhi sarvato-bhāvena svaṁ kṛtārthīkartuṁ gacchanti |
Whose — your — homes, your domain, though purifying it by their very sight and the like, the sages come to entirely, to make themselves fully successful.
जिनके — आपके — घरों, अर्थात् लोक को, अपने दर्शन आदि से पवित्र करते हुए भी, मुनिगण सर्वथा अपने को कृतार्थ करने के लिए आते हैं।
yato gūḍhaṁ sarvato’pi rahasyaṁ yan manuṣya-liṅgaṁ narākṛti paraṁ brahma |
On gūḍhaṁ and manuṣya-liṅgaṁ and paraṁ — Since the hidden one, secret from all, who in human form, of human likeness, is the supreme Brahman.
gūḍhaṁ, manuṣya-liṅgaṁ, paraṁ — क्योंकि वह गूढ़, सबसे रहस्य, जो मनुष्य-रूप, नर-आकृति में पर ब्रह्म है।
tat samyak prakāreṇa yuṣmābhir anāhūtam apy āsakti-pūrvakaṁ yeṣāṁ gṛheṣu sākṣād vasati |
That one dwells in person, in the proper manner, even unbidden by you, with attachment, in whose homes.
वह साक्षात्, भलीभाँति, आपके द्वारा बिना बुलाये भी, आसक्ति-पूर्वक जिनके घरों में निवास करता है।
na hi prahlādādīnāṁ gṛheṣu narākṛti paraṁ brahma sākṣād vasati |
For in the homes of Prahlāda and the rest the supreme Brahman of human likeness does not dwell in person.
प्रह्लाद आदि के घरों में तो नर-आकृति पर ब्रह्म साक्षात् निवास नहीं करता।
na ca tad-darśane kṛtārthī-bhavituṁ munayo gacchantīti bhāvaḥ ||
Nor do the sages go to become fully successful by seeing it there; that is the import.
और न ही मुनिगण वहाँ उसके दर्शन से कृतार्थ होने के लिए जाते हैं; यही भाव है।

To the king who was lamenting, "Ah, the fortune of Prahlāda, by whom Bhagavān was seen! But we are of meager fortune," Nārada responds, beginning with "yūyam": you are possessed of abundant good fortune — more than Prahlāda, more than Prahlāda's guru, more than me, more than other devotees too; more than the Yadus' guru and the rest, more than the ṛṣis such as Vasiṣṭha, Marīci, and Kaśyapa, more than Brahmā and Rudra too.

"अहो, प्रह्लाद का भाग्य — जिसने भगवान् को देखा! हम तो मन्द-भाग्य हैं" — ऐसा विषाद करते हुए राजा के प्रति नारद "यूयम्" इस वचन से कहते हैं कि आप प्रह्लाद से, प्रह्लाद के गुरु से, मुझसे, अन्य भक्तों से भी, यदु-गुरु आदि से भी, वसिष्ठ, मरीचि, कश्यप आदि ऋषियों से भी, तथा ब्रह्मा और रुद्र से भी अधिक सौभाग्यवान् हैं।

You, among the world of men, the living beings, are most fortunate — you whose homes, whose domain, though the sages purify it by their very sight and the like, they yet come to entirely, to make themselves fully successful. For the hidden one, secret from all, who in human form, of human likeness, is the supreme Brahman — that one dwells in person, in the proper manner, even unbidden by you, with attachment, in your homes.

आप मनुष्यों, अर्थात् जीवों, के लोक में परम भाग्यशाली हैं; क्योंकि जिनके — आपके — घरों, अर्थात् लोक को, अपने दर्शन आदि से पवित्र करते हुए भी मुनिगण सर्वथा अपने को कृतार्थ करने के लिए वहाँ आते हैं। यह इसलिए कि वह गूढ़, सबसे रहस्यभूत, जो मनुष्य-रूप एवं नर-आकृति में पर ब्रह्म है, वह साक्षात्, भलीभाँति, आपके द्वारा बिना बुलाये भी आसक्ति-पूर्वक जिनके घरों में निवास करता है।

conclusion

For in the homes of Prahlāda and the rest the supreme Brahman of human likeness does not dwell in person, nor do the sages go there to become fully successful by seeing it. That is the import.

प्रह्लाद आदि के घरों में तो नर-आकृति पर ब्रह्म साक्षात् निवास नहीं करता, और न ही मुनिगण वहाँ उसके दर्शन से कृतार्थ होने के लिए जाते हैं — यही भाव है।

Translation
You all, ah, are exceedingly fortunate in the world of men, for the sages, who purify the world, come to you — since in your homes there dwells in person, hidden, the supreme Brahman [brahman — in Vedānta the one formless infinite reality; here the wonder is that this very supreme Brahman dwells "hidden," bearing a human form, within these households, its transcendence concealed under human likeness], bearing a human form.
अहो, आप मनुष्य-लोक में परम भाग्यशाली हैं, क्योंकि लोक को पवित्र करते हुए मुनिगण आपके पास आते हैं — जिनके घरों में साक्षात् निवास करते हैं गूढ़ पर ब्रह्म [brahman — वेदान्त में एक निराकार अनन्त सत्ता; यहाँ आश्चर्य यह है कि वही पर ब्रह्म इन घरों में "गूढ़" रूप में, मनुष्य-रूप धारण किए, निवास करता है, जिसकी परता मानुषी आकृति के नीचे छिपी है], मनुष्य-रूप में।

yūyaṁ nṛ-loke bata bhūri-bhāgā
yūyamyou all — you Pāṇḍavas 2nd person plural pronoun, subjectतुम सब
nṛ-lokehere in the world of human beings locative of placeमनुष्य-लोक में
bataah! — a cry of wonder exclamatory particleअहो! (विस्मय-सूचक)
bhūri-bhāgāḥare the most fortunate, blessed with abundant good fortune bahuvrīhi, predicate nominative pluralपरम भाग्यशाली हो (जिनका भाग्य बहुत बड़ा है)
bata — ah!; yūyam — you all; nṛ-loke — in the world of men; bhūri-bhāgāḥ — are exceedingly fortunate
yūyam — तुम सब; nṛ-loke — मनुष्य-लोक में; bata — अहो!; bhūri-bhāgāḥ — परम भाग्यशाली हो।
Ah! You are the most fortunate people in the whole human world. Nārada says this in wonder. Of all human beings, none has better fortune than you.
अहो! इस मनुष्य-लोक में तुम सब बड़े ही भाग्यशाली हो।
Why cited: Opens the verse Jīva adduces to give an example of the Lord accompanied by His circle of dear ones; here Nārada tells the Pāṇḍavas they are supremely fortunate.
क्यों उद्धृत: जीव इस श्लोक को इसलिए उद्धृत करते हैं कि भगवान् अपने प्रिय-जनों से घिरे हुए प्रकट होते हैं — इसका उदाहरण मिले; यहाँ नारद पाण्डवों से कहते हैं कि वे मनुष्यों में परम भाग्यशाली हैं।

lokamthe world — everyone they touch accusative object of punānāḥसमस्त लोक को

munayaḥthe sages, the great munis nominative plural, subjectमुनिजन
abhiyanticome right up to you, approach you present indicative, 3rd plural (abhi + i)(तुम्हारे पास) आते हैं
lokam — the world; punānāḥ — purifying; munayaḥ — the sages; abhiyanti — come (to you)
munayaḥ — मुनिजन; lokam — समस्त लोक को; punānāḥ — पवित्र करते हुए; abhiyanti — तुम्हारे पास आते हैं।
The great sages purify the whole world just by their presence. Yet these very sages come to your home. The ones who cleanse everyone else come to you.
जो मुनिजन समस्त लोक को पवित्र करते हैं, वे (तुम्हारे घर) आते हैं।
Why cited: Gives the first, visible sign of that fortune: even the world-purifying sages come to their door — the proof runs down into L3–L4.
क्यों उद्धृत: उस सौभाग्य का पहला प्रत्यक्ष चिह्न देता है — लोक को पवित्र करने वाले मुनि तक स्वयं उनके द्वार पर आते हैं; इसका प्रमाण आगे L3–L4 में उतरता है।

gṛhānto whose homes accusative plural, goal of abhiyantiघरों में

yeṣām — in whose; gṛhān (gṛheṣu) — homes; sākṣāt — in person; āvasati — dwells; iti — thus (Nārada declares)
yeṣām — जिनके; gṛhān — घरों में; sākṣāt — साक्षात्; āvasati — निवास करता है; iti — यह जानकर।
And here is why. In your homes He lives in person. Not a picture of Him, not a far-off presence — He Himself, right there before your eyes. 'That is how it is,' Nārada declares. The sages come because of who lives with you.
जिन तुम लोगों के घरों में (परब्रह्म) साक्षात् निवास करता है — यह जानकर (वे मुनि आते हैं)।
Why cited: States the true reason for the fortune — in their homes He dwells 'in person' (sākṣāt); iti frames the whole as Nārada's wondering declaration, and the sense of sākṣāt is what Mukunda later mines.
क्यों उद्धृत: सौभाग्य का असली कारण बताता है — उनके घरों में वह 'साक्षात्' स्वयं निवास करता है; 'इति' समूचे कथन को नारद के विस्मय-भरे उद्गार के रूप में बाँधता है, और 'साक्षात्' का यही अर्थ आगे मुकुन्द खोलते हैं।

gūḍham — hidden; param brahma — the supreme Brahman; manuṣya-liṅgam — bearing a human form; (sākṣāt āvasati — dwells in person)
param brahma — परब्रह्म; gūḍham — गुप्त रूप से; manuṣya-liṅgam — मनुष्य-रूप धारण किए (āvasati — निवास करता है)।
And who is this resident? The supreme Brahman itself — the highest reality of all. He lives there hidden, wearing a human form. He looks like an ordinary man, so His true greatness stays concealed. That the Absolute itself should live in your house, disguised as a man — this is the wonder Nārada is pointing to.
गुप्त रूप में, मनुष्य का रूप धारण किए हुए परब्रह्म (तुम्हारे घर में निवास करता है)।
Why cited: Names who that resident is — the hidden supreme Brahman wearing a human form; this is the verse's headline wonder and the point Mukunda and Viśvanātha unfold from gūḍha.
क्यों उद्धृत: बताता है कि वह निवासी कौन है — मनुष्य-रूप धारण किए हुए गूढ़ परं ब्रह्म; यही श्लोक का मुख्य आश्चर्य है, और 'गूढ़' शब्द से मुकुन्द तथा विश्वनाथ इसी को खोलते हैं।
paraṁ brahma: in Vedānta 'Brahman' is the one formless, infinite reality. Here the marvel is the reverse of formlessness — that very supreme Brahman dwells 'hidden' (gūḍha) in a human form (manuṣya-liṅga), its transcendence concealed under an ordinary human likeness.
परं ब्रह्म — वेदान्त में 'ब्रह्म' वह एक निराकार, अनन्त सत्ता है। यहाँ आश्चर्य निराकारता से उलटा है — वही परं ब्रह्म मनुष्य के रूप (मनुष्य-लिङ्ग) में 'गूढ़' होकर निवास करता है, उसकी दिव्यता साधारण मनुष्य जैसी आकृति के नीचे छिपी रहती है।

For this very reason, the author is still not satisfied with what he said before. And he is about to give an example of Kṛṣṇa's being surrounded by his circle of dear ones. So he says one more verse — the one beginning 'yūyam.'

priya-varga: 'the circle of dear ones' — Kṛṣṇa's intimate associates. samanvitatva unpacks to 'his being accompanied by them'; here it names the point this verse will illustrate — that the Lord appears surrounded by those who love him.
प्रिय-वर्ग — 'प्रियजनों का समूह', अर्थात् कृष्ण के अन्तरंग पार्षद। समन्वितत्व का अर्थ है 'उनसे युक्त होना, उनसे घिरा होना'; यहाँ यह उस बात का नाम है जिसे यह श्लोक दिखाएगा — कि भगवान् अपने प्रेमियों से घिरे हुए प्रकट होते हैं।

The commentator first sets the scene with words Yudhiṣṭhira had spoken. "Ah, the good fortune of Prahlāda — he actually saw the Lord!" This is the king marveling at how blessed Prahlāda was to have seen Bhagavān face to face. It sets up the contrast Nārada is about to overturn.
अहो! प्रह्लाद का कैसा सौभाग्य — जिसने (स्वयं) भगवान् को देखा!

The king had gone on despairing: "But we ourselves are of poor fortune." Nārada answers him. He tells the despairing king: you Pāṇḍavas are more fortunate than Prahlāda, more than Prahlāda's guru, more even than me, and more than other devotees too. Note how the series of "more than" comparisons begins — Nārada is ranking the Pāṇḍavas above every great devotee, himself included.
'परन्तु हम तो मन्दभाग्य हैं' — ऐसा विषाद करते हुए राजा के प्रति (नारद कहते हैं) — तुम सब प्रह्लाद से, प्रह्लाद के गुरु से, मुझसे भी, और अन्य भक्तों से भी (अधिक भाग्यशाली हो)।

The chain of comparisons finishes. You are more fortunate than the Yadus' guru and others like him, more than great ṛṣis such as Vasiṣṭha, Marīci and Kaśyapa, and more even than Brahmā and Rudra. In short, you are blessed with the greatest good fortune of all. This, says the commentator, is what Nārada declares in the verse that begins "yūyam." The whole ladder — from Prahlāda up to Brahmā and Rudra — has been climbed only to place the Pāṇḍavas at the very top.
यदुओं के गुरु आदि से भी, वशिष्ठ-मरीचि-कश्यप आदि ऋषियों से भी, ब्रह्मा और रुद्र से भी (तुम) परम सौभाग्यशाली हो — ऐसा नारद कहते हैं — 'यूयम्' इत्यादि।

Now the phrase-by-phrase gloss of the verse begins. "You all, in the world of men, are exceedingly fortunate." The commentator explains "men" (nṛ) as "living beings" (jīva), so "the world of men" means the world of living creatures as a whole. Among all of them, you are the most fortunate.
तुम सब मनुष्य रूप जीवों के लोक में परम भाग्यशाली हो।

"Into whose homes the sages come" — the commentator reads "whose" as "yours." The sages purify your houses simply by setting eyes on them. And yet — this is the force of "though" — even though they are the ones doing the purifying, they still come to you from every side, and they come wholeheartedly. Why do they come? To make their own selves fully fulfilled. So the purifiers of the world come to your door to be fulfilled themselves. That is how fortunate you are.

Here is the reason the sages come. Because there is a supreme Brahman that is hidden — the secret kept from absolutely everyone — and that wears a human form, of ordinary human likeness. The commentator glosses "hidden" as "the secret concealed from all" and "human-marked" as "of human likeness." The point of the whole verse is about to land: this concealed Brahman is present in these very homes.
क्योंकि वह परब्रह्म गुप्त है, सबसे अधिक रहस्यमय है, जो मनुष्य के चिह्न वाला अर्थात् मनुष्य के आकार वाला है।
paraṁ brahma: in Vedānta "Brahman" is the one formless, infinite reality. Here the wonder is the reverse — that this very supreme Brahman is present bearing a human form, its transcendence concealed under human likeness.
परं ब्रह्म — वेदान्त में 'ब्रह्म' वह एक निराकार, अनन्त सत्ता है। यहाँ आश्चर्य उलटा है — वही परं ब्रह्म मनुष्य का रूप धारण किए हुए उपस्थित है, उसकी दिव्यता मनुष्य जैसी आकृति के नीचे छिपी हुई है।

That supreme Brahman dwells right there, in person, in your homes. And it dwells completely — that is what "in person" (sākṣāt) means here. More than that: you never even invited him, yet he stays, and he stays out of loving attachment. The wonder is doubled: the hidden Brahman is not just glimpsed but lives with you, uninvited and out of love.

Now the clinching contrast that justifies putting the Pāṇḍavas above everyone. For in the homes of Prahlāda and the others, the supreme Brahman in human form does not actually dwell in person. Prahlāda saw the Lord — but the Lord did not live in his house. That is the difference that makes the Pāṇḍavas more fortunate even than Prahlāda.
क्योंकि प्रह्लाद आदि के घरों में मनुष्य के आकार वाला परब्रह्म साक्षात् निवास नहीं करता।

na ca — and neither; tad-darśane kṛtārthī-bhavituṁ — to be fulfilled by seeing him; munayaḥ gacchanti — do the sages go; iti bhāvaḥ — such is the import
na ca — और न; tad-darśane kṛtārthī-bhavitum — उसके दर्शन में कृतार्थ होने के लिए; munayaḥ gacchanti — मुनि जाते हैं; iti bhāvaḥ — ऐसा तात्पर्य है।
And the other half of the contrast: nor do the sages travel to Prahlāda's home to be fulfilled by the sight of the Lord. "That is the import," the commentator concludes — his standard closing tag. So both marks of supreme fortune from the verse — Brahman dwelling in person, and the sages coming to be fulfilled — hold for the Pāṇḍavas and not for Prahlāda. That is exactly why Nārada ranks them highest of all.
और न ही (प्रह्लाद आदि के घर) उसके दर्शन से कृतार्थ होने के लिए मुनिजन जाते हैं — ऐसा तात्पर्य है।
