Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.53.18-19
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
kṛṣṇa - rāma - dviṣaḥ
—
those hateful toward Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma
Compound: kṛṣṇa + rāma + dviṣ (hater). Hatred of Kṛṣṇa is itself a relationship — Gauḍīyas, citing SB 10.29.13, note that even śatru-bhāva binds the asura to the Lord. Śiśupāla will attain sāyujya through this very dveṣa.
-
haret
—
should steal
Optative of √hṛ. The same root that names Hari (one who steals — hearts, sins, the beloved). The kings name the verb in the optative; Kṛṣṇa will conjugate it in the perfect (jahāra, verse 55).
-
niścita - mānasāḥ
—
having decided minds
Compound: niścita (resolved) + mānasa (mind). Their saṅkalpa is to oppose Bhagavān — the inverse of the devotee's saṅkalpa to serve Him (ānukūlyasya saṅkalpaḥ). Gauḍīyas treat this as the asuric mirror of śaraṇāgati.
The word saṁhatāḥ, which normally means “bound tightly together,” may also mean “thoroughly struck down” or “killed.” Thus although Kṛṣṇa’s enemies thought they were unified and strong — saṁhatāḥ in the former sense — they could not successfully oppose the Personality of Godhead, and consequently they would be struck down and killed — saṁhatāḥ in the latter sense.
The kings came to make sure Rukmini was given to Sisupala (sadhitum).
Yattāḥ means “prepared.” Śrīdhara Svāmī does not accept verse 19. However since the statement in that verse completes the clause in the previous verse, it should be explained, since it is accepted in all the books. The kings came with full strength of their armies and conveyances. Though their conveyances are included in mentioning the full strength of the armies, they are mentioned separately to indicate that multitude of warriors came with their conveyances. Instead of samagra sometimes samartha (capable) is seen.
The reason the kings sided with Śiśupāla was that they hated Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma. They prepared (i). The kings came with the full strength of their armies and conveyances. Though their conveyances are included in mentioning the full strength of the armies, they are mentioned separately to indicate that multitude of warriors came with their conveyances. Instead of samagra sometimes samartha (capable) is seen.
A council of crows plans to defend their nest against an eagle that has already decided not to fight them with claws. The kings prepare a battle Kṛṣṇa does not need to wage — He will simply lift the bride out as the lion lifts prey from the jackals (verse 56).
