Kṛṣṇa Leads Kālayavana to Mucukunda; The Yavana Is Burned; Mucukunda’s Prayers and Boon of Bhakti
स याचित: सुरगणैरिन्द्राद्यैरात्मरक्षणे । असुरेभ्य: परित्रस्तैस्तद्रक्षां सोऽकरोच्चिरम् ॥ १५ ॥
sa yācitaḥ sura-gaṇair indrādyair ātma-rakṣaṇe asurebhyaḥ paritrastais tad-rakṣāṁ so ’karoc ciram
Khi Indra và các chư thiên khác, vì khiếp sợ các asura, khẩn cầu được che chở, Mucukunda đã bảo vệ họ trong một thời gian dài.
This verse states that when the demigods, led by Indra, were afraid of the asuras, Mucukunda protected them for a long time—showing that defending the righteous is a noble duty.
They were threatened by the asuras and sought a powerful ally; Mucukunda, famed for his strength and dharmic rule, was requested to guard them.
Offer protection and support to those facing injustice or fear—using one’s strength, resources, and influence in dharma rather than for selfish gain.
