The Murder of Satrājit and the Recovery of the Syamantaka Jewel
नाहमीस्वरयो: कुर्यां हेलनं रामकृष्णयो: । को नु क्षेमाय कल्पेत तयोर्वृजिनमाचरन् ॥ १२ ॥ कंस: सहानुगोऽपीतो यद्द्वेषात्त्याजित: श्रिया । जरासन्ध: सप्तदश संयुगाद् विरथो गत: ॥ १३ ॥
nāham īsvarayoḥ kuryāṁ helanaṁ rāma-kṛṣṇayoḥ ko nu kṣemāya kalpeta tayor vṛjinam ācaran
克利多伐摩说:我不敢冒犯至上主宰——婆罗罗摩与圣奎师那。扰害他们的人,怎能指望吉祥安稳?坎萨因对他们怀怨,连同党羽失去财富与性命;而迦罗散陀与他们交战十七次后,竟落得连战车也没有。
Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī explains that the word helanam indicates acting against the Lords’ will, and that vṛjinam indicates an offense against the Lords.
This verse states that no one can attain welfare or safety by committing wrongdoing toward Rāma and Kṛṣṇa; offense to the Lord blocks auspiciousness.
In the tense events around the Syamantaka jewel, Akrūra emphasizes reverence for the divine brothers, warning that disrespect toward Them leads to ruin.
Cultivate humility in devotion—avoid slander, disrespect, or cynical speech about God and His devotees; choose actions that increase reverence and integrity.
