TRANSLATION

"Wherever You go, carrying off my sister like a crow stealing sacrificial butter, I will follow. This very day I shall relieve You of Your false pride, You fool, You deceiver, You cheater in battle!

PURPORT

In his hysterical attack, Rukmi displays the very qualities he attributes to Sri Krsna. Every living being is part and parcel of the Lord and belongs to the Lord. Therefore Rukmi was like a crow trying to steal the sacrificial offering meant for the enjoyment of the Lord.
