Translation
When all the members of his dynasty were thus destroyed, Kṛṣṇa thought to himself that at last the burden of the earth had been removed.
Personal Guidance
With His dynasty destroyed, the Lord thought the earth's burden was at last removed. The cosmic purpose is named at the human-scale tragedy.
Reflection Questions
- What cosmic purpose might be operating under the heaviest events of my own life?
- How does this thought change my grief?
