The Deliverance of Nalakūvara and Maṇigrīva
Yamala-Arjuna Līlā Prelude and Culmination
ऋषेर्भागवतमुख्यस्य सत्यं कर्तुं वचो हरि: । जगाम शनकैस्तत्र यत्रास्तां यमलार्जुनौ ॥ २४ ॥
ṛṣer bhāgavata-mukhyasya satyaṁ kartuṁ vaco hariḥ jagāma śanakais tatra yatrāstāṁ yamalārjunau
महाभागवत नारद ऋषि के वचन को सत्य करने के लिए हरि, श्रीकृष्ण, धीरे-धीरे उस स्थान पर गए जहाँ वे यमल-अर्जुन के दो वृक्ष खड़े थे।
This verse shows Lord Hari intentionally acting to make the statement of the foremost devotee-sage true—illustrating that Krishna upholds and honors His devotees’ words.
In this chapter’s context, it refers to Nārada Muni, whose words and arrangement culminate in Krishna approaching the Yamala-Arjuna trees.
It encourages faith that sincere devotion is protected and honored by God, and it inspires one to respect saintly devotees whose words align others with divine purpose.
