Important Words
-
śailān-utpāṭya
—
tearing up mountains
Utpāṭya is the same verb used of Hanumān lifting Droṇagiri in the Rāmāyaṇa to save Lakṣmaṇa. Dvivida — a vānara of the same lineage — has the same brute capacity but uses it to crush kingdoms, not to save them. Identical śakti, inverted intention.
-
ānartān
—
the province of Ānarta
The region surrounding Dvārakā on the western seaboard. By naming Ānarta the poet locates Dvivida's malice geographically near Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma — setting up the confrontation that the chapter is building toward.
-
mitra-hā
—
the killer of his friend
Compound: mitra (friend, Naraka) + hā (killer) — i.e. Kṛṣṇa. The asura sees Bhagavān only through the lens of his slain ally; he cannot see Hari as Hari. Gauḍīyas note: the asura's vision is the mirror-image of the devotee's — same Lord, opposite recognition.
-
hariḥ
—
Hari, Kṛṣṇa
From √hṛ (to take away). Hari is the one who removes — sins for the devotee, demons for the asura. Whichever way one approaches, He takes something away; only the devotee consents to the taking.
-
samacūrṇayat
—
pulverized, devastated
Causative of √cūrṇ (to grind to powder). The same word will return inverted in verse 23, where Balarāma cūrṇayām āsa Dvivida's stones — the demon's signature gesture is what the Lord finally turns back on him.
Once Dvivida tore up a number of mountains and used them to devastate all the neighboring kingdoms, especially the province of Ānarta, wherein dwelt his friend’s killer, Lord Hari.
Gauḍīya Ācāryas
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura
Gauḍīya
Translation
Once Dvivida tore up a number of mountains and used them to devastate all the neighboring kingdoms, especially the province of Ānarta, wherein dwelt his friend's killer, Lord Hari.
Jīva Gosvāmī
Gauḍīya
Commentary
Throwing the mountains around, he crushed the provinces.
Śrīdhara Svāmī
Gauḍīya
Commentary
Throwing the mountains around, he crushed the provinces, completely destroying permanent structures (sam). Kṛṣṇa (hariḥ) had taken the life of his friend.

Analogy
An enemy of the king will tear at the king's own province first — Ānarta, where Dvārakā stands, is where Hari resides, and so where the demon's hate points. The asura's compass always swings toward Bhagavān's dhāma.
