O Deva! O Hari! O destroyer of the demons Madhu, Mura and Naraka! O you who ride upon your transcendent eagle Garuòa! You inspire the demigods’ delightful play. May you be triumphant! May you be triumphant! CommentaryMadhu-mura-naraka-vinäçana – Bhagavän destroys the demons Madhu and Naraka during his residence in Dvärakä. The reference to Mura alludes to his mystical powers of deception. Shri Kṛṣṇa exhibits ninety-six heroic traits while performing his eternal pleasure pastimes in three spiritual realms: Gokula, Mathurä and Dvärakä. His role as the arrogant hero (dhéroddhata) is indicated here. Garuòäsana e (garuòa äsanaà yasya tat-sambuddhau) – Bhagavän is Garuòäsana, one who accepts the king of birds, Garuòa, as his throne. Sura-kula-keli-nidäna – He increases the happiness of the demigods by annihilating the demons and he personally engages in blissful amusements along with his pure devotees. “O Hari, may you be triumphant!” |
