Significado

Here Lord Krishna assures King Yudhishthira that he will have no problem conquering the worldly kings, since the King is a pure devotee and the Lord's pure devotees can never be conquered, even by the demigods, what to speak of earthly kings. Although materialists are proud of their power, fame, beauty and opulence, they can never surpass the pure devotees of the Lord in any of these categories.
