śrī-śuka uvāca evaṁ prapannaiḥ saṁvignair vepamānāyanair balaḥ prasāditaḥ su-prasanno mā bhaiṣṭety abhayaṁ dadau
شری شُکدیو نے کہا—یوں سخت گھبراہٹ میں شَرَن لینے والے اور جن کا شہر کانپ رہا تھا، اُن کوروؤں نے جب بھگوان بلرام جی کو راضی کیا تو وہ نہایت پُرسکون اور مہربان ہو گئے۔ انہوں نے فرمایا، “ڈرو مت”، اور اُن کا خوف دور کر کے اَبھَے دیا۔
FAQs
This verse shows that when the frightened parties surrendered and pleaded, Balarāma became pleased and specifically granted them abhayam—fearlessness—assuring them, “Do not be afraid.”
Because they approached him in a state of surrender and trembling anxiety; being pacified by their submission, Balarāma compassionately reassured them and removed their fear.
When overwhelmed by anxiety, adopt sincere śaraṇāgati—humble turning toward the Lord and His devotees—seeking guidance and protection rather than reacting in panic.
