jitva kanyam upaharat

SYNONYMS

bhagavan -- O lord (Sukadeva Gosvami); srotum -- to hear; icchami -- I wish; krishnasya -- about Krishna; amita -- immeasurable; tejasah -- whose potency; yatha -- how; magadha-salva-adin -- such kings as Jarasandha and Salva; jitva -- defeating; kanyam -- the bride; upaharat -- He took away.

TRANSLATION

My lord, I wish to hear how the immeasurably powerful Lord Krishna took away His bride while defeating such kings as Magadha and Salva.

PURPORT

We should not think that Sri Krishna was actually afraid of Jarasandha. In the very next chapter we will find that Sri Krishna easily defeats Jarasandha and his soldiers. Thus we should never doubt the supreme prowess of Lord Krishna.
