Шри Шукадева сказал: когда Бхаума похитил серьги матери Индры, зонт Варуны и место игр полубогов на вершине горы Мандара, Индра пришёл к Господу Шри Кришне и сообщил Ему об этих злодеяниях. Тогда Господь, взяв с Собой Сатьябхаму, взошёл на Гаруду и отправился в Прагджйотиша-пуру, окружённую со всех сторон укреплениями из гор, самодействующих оружий, воды, огня и ветра, а также страшными и прочными преградами из тросов мура-паша.
The ācāryas have explained in various plausible ways why Lord Kṛṣṇa took His wife Satyabhāmā with Him. Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī begins by saying that the Lord wanted to give His adventurous wife a novel experience and thus took her to the scene of this extraordinary battle. Also, Lord Kṛṣṇa had once granted the blessing to Bhūmi, the earth-goddess, that He would not kill her demoniac son without her permission. Since Bhūmi is an expansion of Satyabhāmā, the latter could authorize Kṛṣṇa to do the needful with the unusually nasty Bhaumāsura.
