athāha pauṇḍrakaṁ śaurir
bho bho pauṇḍraka yad bhavān
dūta-vākyena mām āha
tāny astraṇy utsṛjāmi te
atha - then; āha - said; pauṇḍrakam - to Pauṇḍraka; śauriḥ - Lord Kṛṣṇa; bhoḥ bhoḥ pauṇḍraka - My dear Pauṇḍraka; yat - those which; bhavān - your good self; dūta - of the messenger; vākyena - through the words; mām - to Me; āha - spoke about; tāni - those; astrāṇi - weapons; utsṛjāmi - I am releasing; te - unto you.
Lord Kṛṣṇa then addressed Pauṇḍraka: My dear Pauṇḍraka, the very weapons you spoke of through your messenger, I now release unto you.
Śrīla Prabhupāda writes as follows in Kṛṣṇa: “At this time Lord Kṛṣṇa told Pauṇḍraka, ‘Pauṇḍraka, you requested Me to give up the symbols of Lord Viṣṇu, specifically My disc. Now I will give it up to you. Be careful! You falsely declare yourself to be Vāsudeva, imitating Me. Therefore no one is a greater fool than you.’ From this statement of Kṛṣṇa’s it is clear that any rascal who advertises himself as God is the greatest fool in human society.”
