Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam

<< Canto 10, The Summum Bonum >>
<< 89 - Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna Retrieve a Brāhmaṇa’s Sons >>

<< VERSE 30-31 >>

śrī-brāhmaṇa uvāca
saṅkarṣaṇo vāsudevaḥ
pradyumno dhanvināṁ varaḥ
aniruddho ’prati-ratho
na trātuṁ śaknuvanti yat
tat kathaṁ nu bhavān karma
duṣkaraṁ jagad-īśvaraiḥ
tvaṁ cikīrṣasi bāliśyāt
tan na śraddadhmahe vayam

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

The brāhmaṇa said: Neither Saṅkarṣaṇa; Vāsudeva; Pradyumna, the best of bowmen; nor the unequaled warrior Aniruddha could save my sons. Then why do you naively attempt a feat that the almighty Lords of the universe could not perform? We cannot take you seriously.
