WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Having thus killed the demon Śaṅkhacūḍa and taken away his shining jewel, Lord Kṛṣṇa gave it to His elder brother with great satisfaction as the gopīs watched.

PURPORT

Various gopīs perhaps thought that Govinda would give one of them the valuable jewel. To prevent rivalry among them, Śrī Kṛṣṇa happily gave the jewel to His older brother, Balarāma.

Thus end the purports of His Holiness Hṛdayānanda dās Gosvāmi, initiated disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Thirty-fourth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Nanda Mahārāja Saved and Śaṅkhacūḍa Slain.”
