evam - in this manner; prabhāṣamāṇāsu - while they were speaking; strīṣu - the women; yoga-īśvaraḥ - the master of all mystic power; hariḥ - Lord Kṛṣṇa; śatrum - His enemy; hantum - to kill; manaḥ cakre - made up His mind; bhagavān - the Supreme Lord; bharata-ṛṣabha - O hero of the Bhāratas.

[Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued:] As the women spoke thus, O hero of the Bhāratas, Lord Kṛṣṇa, the master of all mystic power, made up His mind to kill His opponent.
