evaṁ saubhaṁ ca śālvaṁ ca dantavakraṁ sahānujam hatvā durviṣahān anyair īḍitaḥ sura-mānavaiḥ
Having thus destroyed Śālva and his Saubha airship, along with Dantavakra and his younger brother, all of whom were invincible before any other opponent, the Lord was praised by demigods, human beings and great sages, by Siddhas, Gandharvas, Vidyādharas and Mahoragas, and also by Apsarās, Pitās, Yakṣas, Kinnaras and Cāraṇas. As they sang His glories and showered Him with flowers, the Supreme Lord entered His festively decorated capital city in the company of the most eminent Vṛṣṇis.
FAQs
This passage states that Kṛṣṇa killed Śālva (and his Saubha craft) and Dantavakra (with his younger brother), after which sages, celestial beings, and the gods praised Him and showered Him with flowers as He entered decorated Dvārakā.
Because His victories remove oppressive forces that disturb dharma and the world’s peace; therefore all classes of higher beings—sages, Gandharvas, Siddhas and others—offer praise and worship.
See Kṛṣṇa as the true protector and remember that sincere glorification (kīrtana) follows divine victory—so cultivate gratitude, praise of the Lord, and faith that dharma ultimately prevails.
