Jarāsandha’s Siege of Mathurā, Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma’s Victory, and the Founding of Dvārakā amid Kālayavana’s Threat
हरि: परानीकपयोमुचां मुहु: शिलीमुखात्युल्बणवर्षपीडितम् । स्वसैन्यमालोक्य सुरासुरार्चितं व्यस्फूर्जयच्छार्ङ्गशरासनोत्तमम् ॥ २२ ॥
hariḥ parānīka-payomucāṁ muhuḥ śilīmukhāty-ulbaṇa-varṣa-pīḍitam sva-sainyam ālokya surāsurārcitaṁ vyasphūrjayac chārṅga-śarāsanottamam
敵軍が雲のように集まり、荒々しく絶え間ない矢の雨で自軍が苦しめられているのを見て、神々と阿修羅に崇められる主ハリは、至高の弓シャールンガを力強く鳴り響かせた。
It depicts Kṛṣṇa noticing His forces being overwhelmed by a fierce shower of enemy arrows and responding decisively—twanging His famed bow Śārṅga—signaling His role as the protector and leader.
To emphasize the unrivaled, universally acknowledged potency of Kṛṣṇa’s weaponry and majesty—His supremacy is recognized even by opposing cosmic factions.
When those under your care are pressured or “under attack,” respond with steady leadership and timely action—grounded in dharma—rather than indifference or delay.
