krishna-rama-dvishah -- those hateful toward Krishna and Balarama; yattah -- prepared; kanyam -- the bride; caidyaya -- for Sisupala; sadhitum -- in order to secure; yadi -- if; agatya -- coming; haret -- should steal; krishnah -- Krishna; rama -- by Balarama; adyaih -- and other; yadubhih -- Yadus; vritah -- accompanied; yotsyamah -- we will fight; samhatah -- joining all together; tena -- with Him; iti -- thus; niscita-manasah -- having decided; ajagmuh -- came; bhu-bhujah -- the kings; sarve -- all; samagra -- complete; bala -- with military forces; vahanah -- and conveyances.
The word samhatah, which normally means "bound tightly together," may also mean "thoroughly struck down" or "killed." Thus although Krishna's enemies thought they were unified and strong -- samhatah in the former sense -- they could not successfully oppose the Personality of Godhead, and consequently they would be struck down and killed -- samhatah in the latter sense.
