sarvatrāpnoti śobhanam

O protector of the population! With great attention, do as I have instructed. Persons who follow my instruction attain the highest benefit under all conditions.

|| 4.20.34 ||

maitreya uvāca

iti vainyasya rājarṣeḥ

pratinandyārthavad vacaḥ

pūjito 'nugṛhītvainaṁ

gantuṁ cakre 'cyuto matim

Maitreya said: Accepting the meaningful words of Pṛthu, the sage among kings, and being worshipped by him, after showing favor to Pṛthu, the Lord decided to leave.

|| 4.20.35-36 ||

devarṣi-pitṛ-gandharva-

siddha-cāraṇa-pannagāḥ

kinnarāpsaraso martyāḥ

khagā bhūtāny anekaśaḥ

yajñeśvara-dhiyā rājñā

vāg-vittāñjali-bhaktitaḥ

sabhājitā yayuḥ sarve

vaikuṇṭhānugatās tataḥ

With devotion, Pṛthu worshipped the devatās, Pitṛs, Gandharvas, Siddhas, Cāraṇas, Nāgas, Kinnaras Apsarās, human beings, birds and many other living entities, by folding his hands, by his words and by wealth, thinking of them as representatives of the Lord of sacrifice. Obedient to the Lord, they all left that place.

|| 4.20.37 ||

bhagavān api rājarṣeḥ

sopādhyāyasya cācyutaḥ

harann iva mano 'muṣya

sva-dhāma pratyapadyata

The Lord, who had captured the minds of Pṛthu and the teachers, also left for his abode. 

|| 4.20.38 ||

adṛṣṭāya namaskṛtya

nṛpaḥ sandarśitātmane

avyaktāya ca devānāṁ

devāya sva-puraṁ yayau

Offering respects to the Lord, the lord of the devatās, who is not visible to material eyes, and who was invisible to others but still visible to Pṛthu, the King returned to his house.

The Lord was invisible to others (adṛṣtāya) but visible to Pṛthu (sandarśitātmane). Pṛthu remained looking at the Lord until he had gone to Vaikuṇṭha.

 

Thus ends the commentary on the Twentieth Chapter of the Fourth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
