"Then, O unintelligent one, I who am obliged to my friends will have repaid my debt to them by killing You, my enemy disguised as a relative, who are like a disease within my body."
According to the acaryas, the word ajna indicates that in comparison to Lord Krishna, no one is more intelligent. Further, the word bandhu-rupam indicates that Lord Krishna is actually everyone's true friend, and vyadhim indicates that Lord Krishna is the Supersoul, the object of meditation within the heart, who takes away our mental distress. Furthermore, the acaryas translate the word hatva as jnatva; in other words, by knowing Krishna properly one can actually liberate all of one's friends.
