Though the above example is actually only an ābhāsa of āvega, being the sentiment of āvega in non-devotees, taking Kṛṣṇa as the enemy, because it reveals the superior nature of Kṛṣṇa, it is given as an example.

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī is trying to prove by the above examples that in relationship with Kṛṣṇa there is no question of impersonalism. All personal activities are there in relationship with Kṛṣṇa.
