Arjuna and Vasudeva, both highly revered archers, were born elsewhere due to desire and are united for the destruction of all.
In the sky, the wise have appropriately established that the wheel of Vāsudeva exists by illusion, O Lord.
Listen to the brief account of the strengths and weaknesses, highly esteemed among the Pandavas, with concealment, as known by the Pandavas.
Mādhava, also known as Janārdana, effortlessly defeated the formidable foes Naraka, Śambara, Kaṁsa, and Caidya, as if it were a mere game.
The Supreme Person, who is the distinguished soul and controller, governs the earth, sky, and heaven by mind alone, bringing them under his control.
O king, as you repeatedly inquire about the strengths and weaknesses of the Pāṇḍavas, listen to my words to understand them.
On one side stands the entire universe, and on the other, Janardana. In essence, Janardana transcends the entire universe.
Janardana can effortlessly turn the world into ashes with just his mind, but the entire world together cannot turn Janardana into ashes.
Wherever there is truth, righteousness, modesty, and straightforwardness, there is Govinda; wherever there is Krishna, there is victory.
Janardana, the Supreme Person, playfully animates the earth, sky, and heaven, being the soul of all beings.
He performed the sacrifice for the Pandavas, seemingly deluding the world, and now desires to destroy your sons, who are engaged in unrighteousness and are fools.
Keshava, the Lord, through his self-union, continuously turns the wheels of time, the world, and ages.
The one Lord indeed rules over time, death, and all that is moving and non-moving. This is the truth I tell you.
Despite being the supreme controller and a great yogi, Hari, the lord of the universe, undertakes actions like a weak farmer.
Keśava deceives the people through his power of illusion. However, those who surrender to him are not deluded.
