Translation

Herr Mukunda hatte den Ozean der feindlichen Heere durchquert, während seine eigene Streitmacht völlig unversehrt blieb. Die Bewohner des Himmels beglückwünschten Ihn und überschütteten Ihn mit Blumen. Die Menschen von Mathurā, von der fiebrigen Sorge befreit und voller Freude, kamen Ihm entgegen, während Barden, Herolde und Lobredner seinen Sieg besangen.

FAQs

Because Kṛṣṇa’s triumph over overwhelming hostile forces restores dharma; the devas express approval and joy by raining flowers and offering praise.

Mukunda refers to the Lord who grants liberation (mukti) and bliss; here it highlights that the Supreme Lord remains undefeated and fully powerful.

It suggests meeting life’s obstacles with steadiness and faith—seeing challenges as surmountable when one takes shelter of the Lord and acts righteously.
