Bāṇāsura’s Fury Turns Toward Kṛṣṇa

“Bāṇāsura was furious to see his entire military force being torn apart. Leaving his fight with Sātyaki, he charged across the battlefield on his chariot and attacked Lord Kṛṣṇa.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.63.17, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Bāṇāsura saw his entire military force being torn apart.
  • Furious at this sight, he left his fight with Sātyaki.
  • He charged across the battlefield on his chariot and attacked Lord Kṛṣṇa.

Try this today

If anger arises today, pause before acting and recall how fury drove Bāṇāsura to attack.

Ask yourself

How did Bāṇāsura’s fury shape his next action?

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

From Canto 10, chapter 14 onward, the translation and purports were completed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciples after his departure, and published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
