Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 17


Sanskrit:

श्रीभगवानुवाचआयास्ये भवतो गेहमहमार्यसमन्वित: ।यदुचक्रद्रुहं हत्वा वितरिष्ये सुहृत्प्रियम् ॥ १७ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-bhagavān uvācaāyāsye bhavato gehamaham arya-samanvitaḥyadu-cakra-druhaṁ hatvāvitariṣye suhṛt-priyam

Translation:

The Supreme Lord said: I will come to Your house with My elder brother, but first I must satisfy My friends and well-wishers by killing the enemy of the Yadu clan.

Purport:

Akrūra glorified Kṛṣṇa in text 16 as yadūttama, “the best of the Yadus.” Śrī Kṛṣṇa here confirms this by saying, in effect, “Since I am the best of the Yadus, I must kill the enemy of the Yadus, Kaṁsa, and then I will come to your house.”
