अन्याश्चैवंविधा भार्या: कृष्णस्यासन् सहस्रश: । भौमं हत्वा तन्निरोधादाहृताश्चारुदर्शना: ॥ ५८ ॥
anyāś caivaṁ-vidhā bhāryāḥ kṛṣṇasyāsan sahasraśaḥ bhaumaṁ hatvā tan-nirodhād āhṛtāś cāru-darśanāḥ
ਇਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਸ਼੍ਰੀਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਹੋਰ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਪਤਨੀਆਂ ਵੀ ਹੋਈਆਂ; ਭੌਮਾਸੁਰ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਰ ਕੇ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਕੈਦ ਤੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਈਆਂ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਕੁਆਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਭਗਵਾਨ ਨੇ ਸਵੀਕਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ।
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Fifty-eighth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Kṛṣṇa Marries Five Princesses.”
FAQs
This verse states that after killing Bhauma (Narakāsura), Kṛṣṇa brought back many beautiful women who had been held in captivity, making them His wives.
In the narrative of Canto 10, Śukadeva explains that many women were freed from Bhauma’s imprisonment and were accepted by Kṛṣṇa, highlighting His role as protector and deliverer.
Remembering Kṛṣṇa as the rescuer encourages devotees to seek divine shelter during oppression or fear and to act compassionately to help free others from harmful conditions.
