tam -- him; drishtva -- seeing; acintayat -- thought; krishnah -- Lord Krishna; sankarshana -- by Lord Balarama; sahaya-van -- assisted; aho -- ah; yadunam -- for the Yadus; vrijinam -- a problem; praptam -- arrived; hi -- indeed; ubhayatah -- from both sides (from Kalayavana and also from Jarasandha); mahat -- great.
When Lord Krishna and Lord Sankarshana saw Kalayavana, Krishna thought about the situation and said, "Ah, a great danger now threatens the Yadus from two sides.
We may note here that although Sri Krishna had defeated Jarasandha seventeen times against tremendous odds, He did not immediately annihilate the army of Kalayavana, thus keeping intact the benediction granted to Gargya by Lord Siva, as explained in the previous purport.
