Kṛṣṇa Defeats Bāṇāsura and Receives Śiva’s Prayers
The Śoṇitapura Battle and the Jvara Episode
कुम्भाण्डकूपकर्णाभ्यां बलेन सह संयुग: । साम्बस्य बाणपुत्रेण बाणेन सह सात्यके: ॥ ८ ॥
kumbhāṇḍa-kūpakarṇābhyāṁ balena saha saṁyugaḥ sāmbasya bāṇa-putreṇa bāṇena saha sātyakeḥ
ဘလရာမသည် ကုಂಭာဏ္ဍ နှင့် ကူပကර්ဏ တို့ကို တိုက်ခိုက်ခဲ့သည်; စာမ္ဗသည် ဘာဏာ၏ သားနှင့်; စာတျကီသည် ဘာဏာကိုယ်တိုင်နှင့် စစ်ဆင်ခဲ့သည်။
This verse lists the pairings: Balarāma fights Kumbhāṇḍa and Kūpakarṇa, Sāmba fights Bāṇa’s son, and Sātyaki fights Bāṇa.
In the Bāṇāsura episode, Kṛṣṇa’s allies engage the demon’s forces; Sātyaki, as a foremost Yādava warrior, confronts Bāṇa directly as the battle unfolds.
Devotional life includes steadfast duty: each devotee serves according to capacity, cooperating in Kṛṣṇa’s mission with courage, discipline, and loyalty.
