vimanaskaṁ vṛṣa-dhvajam
vimanaskaṁ vṛṣa-dhvajam
tadāyaṁ bhagavān viṣṇus
tatropāyam akalpayat
Seeing Lord Śiva aggrieved and disappointed, the Supreme Lord Viṣṇu found a solution for that.
|| 7.10.62 ||
vatsaś cāsīt tadā brahmā
svayaṁ viṣṇur ayaṁ hi gauḥ
praviśya tripuraṁ kāle
rasa-kūpāmṛtaṁ papau
Lord Brahmā became a calf and Lord Viṣṇu became a cow. At noon they entered the residences and drank all the nectar in the well.
Kale means “at noon.”
|| 7.10.63 ||
te 'surā hy api paśyanto
na nyaṣedhan vimohitāḥ
tad vijñāya mahā-yogī
rasa-pālān idaṁ jagau
smayan viśokaḥ śokārtān
smaran daiva-gatiṁ ca tām
Though the demons saw the calf and cow, because of bewilderment, they did not stop them. Knowing this, the great mystic Maya Dānava, surprised but not lamenting, and understanding the will of fate, spoke to the demons guarding the nectar, who were lamenting.
|| 7.10.64 ||
devo 'suro naro 'nyo vā
neśvaro 'stīha kaścana
ātmano 'nyasya vā diṣṭaṁ
daivenāpohituṁ dvayoḥ
What has been destined by fate for oneself, for others, or for both oneself and others, cannot be prevented by a devatā, a demon, a human being or anyone else.
No one is capable (īśvaraḥ) of counteracting what is decided by fate for oneself, or another, or both.
|| 7.10.65-66 ||
athāsau śaktibhiḥ svābhiḥ
śambhoḥ prādhānikaṁ vyadhāt
dharma-jñāna-virakty-ṛddhi-
tapo-vidyā-kriyādibhiḥ
rathaṁ sūtaṁ dhvajaṁ vāhān
dhanur varma-śarādi yat
sannaddho ratham āsthāya
śaraṁ dhanur upādade
Thereafter, Lord Kṛṣṇa, equipped Śiva with all the necessary paraphernalia, such as a chariot, a charioteer, a flag, carriers, a bow, a shield and arrows, which were empowered by the Lords potency consisting of religion, knowledge, renunciation, prosperity, austerity, education and activities. When Lord Śiva was fully equipped in this way, he sat down on the chariot and took up his arrows and bow.
Asau means Kṛṣṇa. Prādhānikam means articles for battle such as a chariot. The Lord empowered the articles with his various energies. Since the Lord’s śaktis are eternal and victorious, the articles of war also became similar. Śiva on the chariot was also endowed with bhakti-yoga, the Lord’s quality, and those on the chariot like the driver were also endowed with knowledge and other qualities that take shelter of bhakti.
