Prabhupāda: Word meaning. Pradyumna: śrī-kṛṣṇa—O Śrī Kṛṣṇa; kṛṣṇa-sakha—O friend of Arjuna; vṛṣṇi—of descendants of Vṛṣṇi; ṛṣabha—the chief; avani—earth; dhruk—rebellious; rājanya-vaṁśa—dynasties of the kings; dahana—annihilator; anapavarga—without deterioration of; vīrya—prowess; govinda—the proprietor of Golokadhāma; go—cow; dvija—the brāhmaṇas; sura—the demigods; arti-hara—reliever of distress; avatāra—one who descends; yoga-īśvara—master of all mystic powers; akhila—universal; guro—O preceptor; bhagavan—the possessor of all opulences; namas te—respectful obeisances unto You. [05:04] Translation: "O Kṛṣṇa, O friend of Arjuna, O chief amongst the descendants of Vṛṣṇi, You are the destroyer of those political parties which are disturbing elements on this earth. Your prowess never deteriorates.
You are the proprietor of the transcendental abode, and You descend to relieve the distresses of the cows, the brāhmaṇas and the devotees. You possess all mystic powers, and You are the preceptor of the entire universe. You are the Almighty God, and I offer You my respectful obeisances." Prabhupāda: So Lord Kṛṣṇa is addressed here as kṛṣṇa-sakha. Although Arjuna is Kuntī's son, subordinate, but she knows that Kṛṣṇa is more intimately related with Arjuna than herself.
She knows that. Another kṛṣṇa-sakha means Kṛṣṇā. Kṛṣṇā is the name of Draupadī. So Kṛṣṇa saved Draupadī from insult.
She was attempted to be naked by Duryodhana and Karṇa, but Kṛṣṇa saved her. So in that sense also Kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa-sakha. Vṛṣṇy-ṛṣabha. Ṛṣabha, the chief. The best man is called ṛṣabha. So in the Vṛṣṇi dynasty, Kṛṣṇa is the chief.
Because Kṛṣṇa appeared in the Vṛṣṇi dynasty, therefore the dynasty become famous. That is already discussed previously. Malaya-candana. Candana.
Just the sandalwood. Because sandal is produced in the Malaya—Malaysia now, the name—therefore it is called malaya-candana. Or sometimes it is produced in the Malaya Hill. There is hill, another. So ṛṣabhāvani-dhrug rājanya.
