taá¹ dṛṣá¹vÄcintayat kṛṣṇaḥ
saá¹…kará¹£aṇa sahÄyavÄn
aho yadÅ«nÄá¹ vá¹›jinaá¹
prÄptaá¹ hy ubhayato mahat
tam - him; dṛṣá¹vÄ - seeing; acintayat - thought; kṛṣṇaḥ - Lord Kṛṣṇa; saá¹…kará¹£aṇa - by Lord BalarÄma; sahÄya-van - assisted; aho - ah; yadÅ«nÄm - for the Yadus; vá¹›jinam - a problem; prÄptam - arrived; hi - indeed; ubhayataḥ - from both sides (from KÄlayavana and also from JarÄsandha); mahat - great.
We may note here that although ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa had defeated JarÄsandha seventeen times against tremendous odds, He did not immediately annihilate the army of KÄlayavana, thus keeping intact the benediction granted to GÄrgya by Lord Åšiva, as explained in the previous purport.
