Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesOpposition Cannot Stop Lord Kṛṣṇa
“When the intolerant kings who had been rival suitors heard what had happened, they tried to stop Lord Kṛṣṇa on the road as He took His bride home. But just as the bulls had broken the kings’ strength before, the Yadu warriors broke it now.”
What the purport teaches
- The rival kings could not tolerate hearing what had happened. They tried to stop Lord Kṛṣṇa as He took His bride home.
- The kings had already had their strength broken by the bulls. Still, they tried to oppose the Lord.
- The Yadu warriors now broke the kings’ strength. Their opposition did not prevent Lord Kṛṣṇa from continuing home.
