Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.50.45
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
vṛjinam
—
a problem, difficulty
Vṛjina — from √vṛj (to bend). Trouble that bends the path. Bhāgavata vocabulary for trial: not catastrophe but obstruction. The Lord names it as such to His brother, even though He knows the obstruction is His own arrangement.
-
ubhayataḥ
—
from both sides
Two-front threat: Kālayavana from one side, Jarāsandha potentially from the other. The chapter's two halves now press in simultaneously, and Kṛṣṇa pivots between them by founding Dvārakā as escape-and-fortress.
-
saṅkarṣaṇa-sahāya-van
—
assisted by Lord Balarāma
Compound. Kṛṣṇa is sahāya-van — 'helper-possessing.' Even Bhagavān is constantly described as accompanied by His brother. Joint Lordship is the standing condition of every māthurā-līlā.
We may note here that although Śrī Kṛṣṇa had defeated Jarāsandha seventeen times against tremendous odds, He did not immediately annihilate the army of Kālayavana, thus keeping intact the benediction granted to Gārgya by Lord Śiva, as explained in the previous purport.
Krsna, out of affection for the Yadavas, began to worry. "The Yadus have calamity on both sides, from Kalayavana and Jarasandha."
Playing the role of a human, he spoke to Balarāma because he wanted to take Balarāma’s permission in moving the Yadus far from Mathurā. Aho expresses lamentation. Hi means certainly.
- What 'two-sided' problem are you minimizing because facing both sides is daunting?
- How does naming the dual threat begin to free up strategy?
Kṛṣṇa, looking at the new threat, says aloud — 'aho! great trouble for the Yadus, from both sides.' The Lord stages His omniscience as anxiety, for the sake of the līlā. The mānuṣa-veil is so thick that even He utters 'aho' as a man might, and only the alert reader notices that the strategy is already decided.
