O faithful upholder of vows, please destroy our doubt by explaining to us what purpose the self-satisfied Lord of the Yadus had in mind when He behaved so contemptibly.

Therefore since time immemorial great sages and enlightened kings like Parikshit Maharaja have openly raised these questions to provide the authoritative answer for all posterity.
