The ÄcÄryas have given the following alternate grammatical division of the third line of this verse: atas tvÄá¹ gadayÄ amanda, in which case Dantavakra says, “My dear Lord Kṛṣṇa, You are amanda [not foolish], and therefore with Your powerful club You will now send me back home, back to Godhead.†This is the inner meaning of this verse.
