4) Uprooted the marudu trees : You even deliver those, who commit the crime of

offending their AchArya. You, yourself bear the consequences, correct them and

elevate them too. NalakUbara and maNigrIva became the marudu trees for insulting

sage nArada. O little Krishna, you experienced the pain due for them by getting

yourself tied with the rope and delivered them. For this, you created a nice

story in the fore ground.(stealing butter, causing anger to mother YaShOdA etc)

5) broke the approaching cart (SakaTAsurA) :

 

Sam = happiness; kaTa = the one which removes;

SakaTam = The one which removes our happiness = our karma.

 

Isn’t your act of smashing to pieces all my karma, the greatest help to me?.

For, I cannot give anything to you in return.

 

6) Conquered the wrestlers : Another great help you did is to wipe out the lust

and anger in me, just like you wiped out the two wrestlers, chANUrA and muSTikA.

 

7) The one who became poison to the wicked kamsA : kamsA resembles the mode of

passion in me. It is deceiving me. It is driving me to offend those who belong

to my Lord. And thereby, taking me away from my Lord. He becoming poison to such

an enemy, is another great help He did to me.

 

All of these episodes show two things : His extreme love towards us and His

supreme capabilities in protecting us from time to time. Hence, He is the

paramAtmA. We donot possess either of these and hence we are the AtmAs.
