Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionThe Women Cry Out to Their Lords
“O King, even as the two Lords looked on, Śaṅkhacūḍa brazenly began driving the women off toward the north. The women, who had accepted Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma as their Lords, began to cry out to Them.”
What the purport teaches
- Śaṅkhacūḍa brazenly drove the women toward the north while the two Lords looked on.
- Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī explains that he frightened them by shaking a large stick. He did not actually touch them.
- The women had accepted Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma as their Lords, and they cried out to Them.

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
