Trivakrā’s Transformation and the Breaking of Kaṁsa’s Bow
Mathurā-līlā Prelude
पद्भ्यामाक्रम्य प्रपदे द्व्यङ्गुल्युत्तानपाणिना । प्रगृह्य चिबुकेऽध्यात्ममुदनीनमदच्युत: ॥ ७ ॥
padbhyām ākramya prapade dry-aṅguly-uttāna-pāṇinā pragṛhya cibuke ’dhyātmam udanīnamad acyutaḥ
阿周陀主以双足按住她的脚趾,又以双手各一上举之指托住她的下颌,使她的身体挺直。
This verse depicts Kṛṣṇa subtly turning the other person’s attention from outward emotion to inward absorption, showing how the Lord naturally attracts the mind toward Himself.
He is called Acyuta—“the infallible one”—to emphasize that His actions are perfectly pure and spiritually purposeful, never subject to material fault or instability.
It reminds a devotee to let life’s encounters become occasions for inner remembrance—redirecting attention from external agitation to steady, heartfelt focus on God.
