The YÄdavas, worshipped even by the devatÄs, play like the inhabitants of Vaikuṇṭha in their city which is protected by Kṛṣṇa’s strong arms.

They are worshipped even by the devatas. Maha-paurusika iva means “like the followers of the Lord of Vaikuntha.†Or it can mean “like conquerors with great prowess.â€
