Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 31


Sanskrit:

बध्यमानं हतारातिं पाशैर्वारुणमानुषै: ।वारयामास गोविन्दस्तेन कार्यचिकीर्षया ॥ ३१ ॥

ITRANS:

badhyamānaṁ hatārātiṁpāśair vāruṇa-mānuṣaiḥvārayām āsa govindastena kārya-cikīrṣayā

Translation:

With the divine noose of Varuṇa and other, mortal ropes, Balarāma began tying up Jarāsandha, who had killed so many foes. But Lord Govinda still had a purpose to fulfill through Jarāsandha, and thus He asked Balarāma to stop.

Purport:

The word hatārātim means “who has killed his enemies,” or “through whom his enemies would be killed.” Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī has provided this thoughtful note.
