Significado

Lord Krishna here concurs with King Yudhishthira's decision that the Rajasuya sacrifice should be performed. The Lord further agrees that there is nothing unfair in the fact that one result is achieved by those who worship Him, and another by those who do not. The great Bhagavatam commentators point out that by addressing King Yudhishthira as satru-karsana, "tormentor of enemies," Lord Krishna is imparting to him the potency to conquer all the enemy kings. Thus Krishna predicted that King Yudhishthira's noble fame would spread to all the worlds, and in fact it has.
