SYNONYMS
jarasandha kahe-Jarasandha says; krsna-Krsna; purusa-adhama-the lowest of human beings; tora saṅge-with You; na yujhimu-I shall not fight; yahi-because; bandhu-han-killer of Your own relatives.
TRANSLATION
"The demon Jarasandha chastised Krsna, saying, 'You are the lowest of human beings. I shall not fight with You, for You killed Your own relatives.'
PURPORT
In this verse also, mother Sarasvati offers prayers to Krsna. The word purusa-adhama refers to the Personality of Godhead, under whom all other persons remain, or, in other words, purusa-uttama, the best of all living beings. Similarly, the word bandhu-han means "the killer of maya." In the conditioned state of life, one is closely related with maya as a friend, but when one comes in contact with Krsna one is freed from that relationship.
