Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 9


Sanskrit:

गायन्ति ते विशदकर्म गृहेषु देव्योराज्ञां स्वशत्रुवधमात्मविमोक्षणं च ।गोप्यश्च कुञ्जरपतेर्जनकात्मजाया:पित्रोश्च लब्धशरणा मुनयो वयं च ॥ ९ ॥

ITRANS:

gāyanti te viśada-karma gṛheṣu devyorājñāṁ sva-śatru-vadham ātma-vimokṣaṇaṁ cagopyaś ca kuñjara-pater janakātmajāyāḥpitroś ca labdha-śaraṇā munayo vayaṁ ca

Translation:

In their homes, the godly wives of the imprisoned kings sing of Your noble deeds — about how You will kill their husbands’ enemy and deliver them. The gopīs also sing Your glories — how You killed the enemy of the elephant king, Gajendra; the enemy of Sīta, daughter of Janaka; and the enemies of Your own parents as well. So also do the sages who have obtained Your shelter glorify You, as do we ourselves.

Purport:

Great sages and devotees had informed the grief-stricken wives of the imprisoned kings that Lord Kṛṣṇa would arrange for the killing of Jarāsandha and would thus save them from their crisis. These godly women would thus sing the glories of the Lord at home, and when their children would cry for their fathers, their mothers would tell them, “Child, do not cry. Śrī Kṛṣṇa will save your father.” In fact, the Lord has saved many devotees in the past, as described here.
