Text 147] The Lord’s Attempt to Go to Vrndavana 229
Lord Sri Krsna jumped from His chariot, picked up a wheel and came running
at me to kill me. Indeed, He rushed at me like a lion going to kill an elephant,
and He caused the whole earth to tremble.’
PURPORT
Lord Krsna promised not to fight in the battle of Kuruksetra or even take up a
weapon. But when Bhisma wanted to keep his own promise to break the promise
of the Lord, the Lord immediately got down from the chariot, and to make
Bhisma’s promise true He picked up a chariot wheel and rushed forward to kill
him. This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhdagavatam (1.9.37).
