Jarāsandha’s Siege of Mathurā, Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma’s Victory, and the Founding of Dvārakā amid Kālayavana’s Threat
हरि: परानीकपयोमुचां मुहु: शिलीमुखात्युल्बणवर्षपीडितम् । स्वसैन्यमालोक्य सुरासुरार्चितं व्यस्फूर्जयच्छार्ङ्गशरासनोत्तमम् ॥ २२ ॥
hariḥ parānīka-payomucāṁ muhuḥ śilīmukhāty-ulbaṇa-varṣa-pīḍitam sva-sainyam ālokya surāsurārcitaṁ vyasphūrjayac chārṅga-śarāsanottamam
见敌军如云聚集,凶猛不息的箭雨屡屡折磨己方军阵,哈利主——为天神与阿修罗所礼敬者——便使他那至上的“沙尔恩迦”神弓铮然作响。
It depicts Kṛṣṇa noticing His forces being overwhelmed by a fierce shower of enemy arrows and responding decisively—twanging His famed bow Śārṅga—signaling His role as the protector and leader.
To emphasize the unrivaled, universally acknowledged potency of Kṛṣṇa’s weaponry and majesty—His supremacy is recognized even by opposing cosmic factions.
When those under your care are pressured or “under attack,” respond with steady leadership and timely action—grounded in dharma—rather than indifference or delay.
