Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.68.34
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
ugrasenaḥ
—
King Ugrasena
Mentioned again, framed cosmically. Not a vassal of the Kurus but a king whose orders the demigods accept — because the Lord chose his line for descent.
-
śakra - ādayaḥ
—
Indra and others
Śakra is Indra; ādayaḥ = 'and the rest of the loka-pālas' — Yama, Varuṇa, Kubera, Agni. All the world-rulers themselves are governed by the line in which Kṛṣṇa appeared.
-
loka - pālāḥ
—
rulers of the worlds
The eight (or ten) governing demigods of the directions. They appear as servants in the Lord's own city — Sudharmā assembly hall — described in verse 35.
In six verses he remembers their bad words.
“But you have not spoken correctly.” Is not Ugrasena capable? Or he is certainly capable is he not? This is said in anger. He is the lord of the all the Yādavas-- Bhojas, Vṛṣṇis and Andhakas. Moreover Indra and others obey his order.
- Where do I weigh people by visible status rather than spiritual standing?
- How would my interactions change if I saw the real chain of command?
Indra rises every morning at the command of a king the Kurus call 'not fit to command' — the absurdity of mortal arrogance is laid bare with a single rhetorical question.
Earlier in this very canto (SB 10.27), after Kṛṣṇa lifted Govardhana, Indra himself descended to Vraja, washed Kṛṣṇa's feet with the milk of Surabhi, and conferred on Him the title Govinda — 'master of cows, master of the senses.'
The king of heaven knelt to the cowherd Lord. And Balarāma now points out: this Indra obeys Ugrasena. The Kurus' claim to rank over the Yadus collapses at the cosmic ledger.
