Engaged constantly in chanting and hearing about Me,the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the sAdhus do not suffer from material miseries because they are always filledwith thoughts of My pastimes and activities.
ChAnurA (Wrestler) Speaks:
You are Great Heroes with long hands
Obedient citizens to please the King or King will be angry
Fight to please the King
King & others want to see the wrestling
Krishna’s wrestling with cowherd boys in the forest
Krishna’s Reply:
Understood his statement
Krishna speaks according to time and circumstances
You and we are all subjects of the King & try to please the King
Small boys fight with small boys not with big wrestlers
Contradicts religious principle
ChAnurA’s Reply:
You are not child or young man
You & Balarama transcendental to everyone
You killed big elephant
So strong, can fight with us
