[39] Having spoken up to this point, Madhukaṇṭha looked at his brother and said: ‘Here, “O father” is indeed the fitting form of address according to the conception of sonship established within his heart. By “our kinsmen”, and there too by “distressed by affection”, because their affection is limitless, what is intended is his staying precisely with those foremost among them who desire to see him at every moment, and granting the sight of himself at every moment. By “we”, since according to Pāṇini’s rule the plural form of asmad is used for two as well, leaving aside my own account, it is indicated: “both of us shall come”. By “to see”, the status of their sight alone as the ultimate human goal is established for himself as well as for them. Just as in the phrase “even so, O Infinite One, who can comprehend the greatness of your glory?” to be comprehended means to become the object of knowledge, so likewise in an alternate sense “to see” is established as meaning “to become an object of sight”. By the word “friends”, the non-kinsman status of the Yādavas and their status as mere recipients of favors is hinted at. And there, by the use of the gerund in “having brought joy”, since a limit is designated, his subsequent lack of need for them after destroying their fear and other troubles is also indicated.’
