Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionKṛṣṇa Protects the Yadus
“And now all of us, great commanders of military leaders, have been defeated by the Yadus and their small entourage, who are protected by Kṛṣṇa.”
What the purport teaches
- Jarāsandha acknowledges that all of them have been defeated, despite being great commanders of military leaders.
- The victorious Yadus have only a small entourage.
- The Yadus are protected by Kṛṣṇa. Their victory contrasts with their opponents' greater military strength.
Try this today
Offer a short prayer to Kṛṣṇa for protection, remembering the Yadus' small entourage.
Ask yourself
What does this contrast suggest about relying only on visible strength?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
