Gokula’s Wonder, Kṛṣṇa’s Bhakta-vaśyatā, the Move to Vṛndāvana, and the Slaying of Vatsāsura and Bakāsura
तदा बकारिं सुरलोकवासिन: समाकिरन् नन्दनमल्लिकादिभि: । समीडिरे चानकशङ्खसंस्तवै- स्तद् वीक्ष्य गोपालसुता विसिस्मिरे ॥ ५२ ॥
tadā bakāriṁ sura-loka-vāsinaḥ samākiran nandana-mallikādibhiḥ samīḍire cānaka-śaṅkha-saṁstavais tad vīkṣya gopāla-sutā visismire
ໃນເວລານັ້ນ ເຫຼົ່າເທວະດາຊັ້ນສູງໄດ້ໂປຍດອກໄມ້ຈາກສວນນັນທະວັນ ລົງມາໃສ່ພະກິດສະນະ ຜູ້ເປັນສັດຕູຂອງບະກາສູນ. ພວກເຂົາຍັງໄດ້ສັນລະເສີນພະອົງດ້ວຍການຕີກອງທິບ ແລະ ເປົ່າຫອຍສັງ ພ້ອມທັງສວດມົນພາວະນາ. ເມື່ອເຫັນດັ່ງນັ້ນ ເດັກນ້ອຍລ້ຽງງົວທັງຫຼາຍຕ່າງກໍຕົກຕະລຶງດ້ວຍຄວາມປະຫຼາດໃຈ.
Because Kṛṣṇa’s divine victory and protection of Vraja are recognized even in the heavenly realms; the devas honor Him by raining celestial flowers and offering praises.
Bakāri is Kṛṣṇa, addressed as “the slayer of Bakāsura,” highlighting His role as protector of His devotees and destroyer of demonic forces.
Devotion grows by recognizing divine protection in everyday life—when grace appears unexpectedly, respond with gratitude and remembrance rather than taking it as ordinary.
