Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.90.44
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
hariṇā
—
by Hari
Instrumental of Hari — the Lord who removes (√hṛ). Bhagavān is the agent commanding the descent of the devas. In Gauḍīya theology, Hari is Kṛṣṇa's name as remover of all that obstructs bhakti — and of demons that obstruct dharma.
-
avatīrṇāḥ
—
descended
Past participle of ava + √tṛ — to cross down. The technical verb for avatāra. Verse 90.44 confirms: the Yadu clansmen are themselves devas avatīrṇa — descended demigods. The Yadu line is a divine task-force.
-
yadoḥ kule
—
in the dynasty of Yadu
yadoḥ (of Yadu, ancient ancestor) + kule (in the family). Yadu was Yayāti's son who declined the throne for tapas — Bhagavān honored him by descending in his line. Vaiṣṇava lineage rewards renunciation generations later.
-
nigrahāya
—
for subduing
Dative of nigraha — restraint, suppression. The purpose of the Yadu descent is nigraha of demons. Gauḍīyas: avatāra is not theological luxury; it is dharma-rakṣaṇa — the structural answer to evil's persistence.
The demigods formed a hundred and one clans, not individuals, since the number of individuals was countless.
To control the demons the Lord told the devatās to appear in the Yadu dynasty. Sometimes the Lord killed the demons and sometimes he did it along with the devatās (as Yadus). Some entered into bodies of Yadu members and some were born separately as Yadus. Since they were in 101 clans, they are impossible to count.
The Lord told them to take birth in the Yadu dynasty to relieve the earth of its burden, by killing them. The family had 101 branches, with Bhogas, Andhakas, Sātvatas etc. Thus the dynasty was huge. Who can count the numbers? O king! By your intelligence you can determine this.
Hari instructs the demigods to descend into the Yadu line — 101 clans strong — to subdue the reborn demons. The Yadu dynasty is not an accident; it is divine deployment. Aiśvarya is organized for adharma's defeat.
