Jarāsandha’s Siege of Mathurā, Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma’s Victory, and the Founding of Dvārakā amid Kālayavana’s Threat
हतेषु सर्वानीकेषु नृपो बार्हद्रथस्तदा । उपेक्षितो भगवता मगधान् दुर्मना ययौ ॥ ३४ ॥
hateṣu sarvānīkeṣu nṛpo bārhadrathas tadā upekṣito bhagavatā magadhān durmanā yayau
当他的诸军尽被歼灭,又被至上人格神漠然置之时,布里哈德拉他之子迦罗散陀王便心怀沮丧,返回摩揭陀国。
This verse states that after all of Jarāsandha’s military divisions were destroyed, he became dejected and returned to Magadha, feeling disregarded by Bhagavān.
Although his armies were repeatedly crushed, Kṛṣṇa did not engage Jarāsandha in the way the king expected; perceiving this as neglect, Jarāsandha withdrew in frustration.
When ego seeks recognition, setbacks feel like “being ignored.” This verse encourages humility—accept results as higher arrangement and avoid doubling down on pride after defeat.
