My dear lord, Śukadeva Gosvāmī, although Vṛtrāsura was a sinful demon, he showed the prowess of a most exalted kṣatriya and satisfied Lord Indra in battle. How could such a demon be a great devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa? These contradictions have caused me great doubt, and they have made me eager to hear of this from you.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O master! This is my doubt. I am curious to hear about Vṛtrāsura whose heroism pleased Indra in battle.
