TRANSLATION

O personality of religion, I was greatly overburdened by the undue
military phalanx arranged by atheistic kings, and I was relieved by the
grace of the Personality of Godhead. Similarly you were also in a distressed
condition, weakened by your standing strength, and thus He also incar-
nated by His internal energy in the family of the Yadus to relieve you.

PURPORT

The asuras want to enjoy a life of sense gratification, even at the cost of
others’ happiness. In order to fulfill this ambition, the asuras, especially
atheistic kings or state executive heads, try to equip themselves with all
kinds of deadly weapons to bring about a war ina peaceful society. They
have no ambition other than personal aggrandizement, and thus mother
earth feels overburdened by such undue increases of military strength. By
increase of the asuric population, those who follow the principles of re-
ligion become unhappy, especially the devotees or devas.

Only in such a situation the Personality of Godhead incarnates to
vanquish the unwanted asuras and to reestablish the true principles of
religion. This was the mission of Lord Sri Krsna, and He fulfilled it.
