FAQs
It marks the turning point where Kamsa’s inner fear becomes a concrete political plan—using Akrura as an instrument—yet the narrative implies divine governance, since Kamsa’s schemes ultimately serve Krishna’s larger purpose.
Parāśara presents it as a clash between adharmic intent (the ‘duṣṭātmā’ Kamsa) and the divinely established order embodied by Janardana, whose avatāra-līlā draws opponents into their own undoing.
‘Janardana’ signals Vishnu’s sovereign identity within the human narrative—Krishna is not merely a hero but the Supreme Lord whose presence makes the restoration of dharma inevitable.
