Srimad Bhagavatam — Dashama Skandha, Shloka 28
The Slaying of Śālva and the Destruction of Saubha
ततो मुहूर्तं प्रकृतावुपप्लुत: स्वबोध आस्ते स्वजनानुषङ्गत: । महानुभावस्तदबुध्यदासुरीं मायां स शाल्वप्रसृतां मयोदिताम् ॥ २८ ॥
tato muhūrtaṁ prakṛtāv upaplutaḥ sva-bodha āste sva-janānuṣaṅgataḥ mahānubhāvas tad abudhyad āsurīṁ māyāṁ sa śālva-prasṛtāṁ mayoditām
就本性而言，奎师那主充满知识，拥有无限的感知能力。然而，出于对亲人的深厚感情，他曾片刻沉浸在普通人的情绪中。但他很快想起，这完全是玛亚·达纳瓦（Maya Dānava）设计并由沙尔瓦使用的恶魔幻象。
FAQs
This verse says that the terrifying display was not reality but an āsurī māyā—an illusion produced through Maya Dānava and deployed by Śālva—recognized and dispelled by Kṛṣṇa’s perfect awareness.
In the narrative of Śālva’s attack, Kṛṣṇa enacts humanlike responses as part of His līlā, yet He remains the ‘svabodha’—fully self-aware—and quickly identifies the trick as illusion.
Like Kṛṣṇa, pause when emotions surge, then re-check reality with clear discernment (buddhi) and śāstra-guided awareness before reacting to what may be misleading appearances.
