Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Srimad Bhagavatam 10.67.23 tato 'muncac chila-varsham balasyopary amarshitah tat sarvam curnayam asa lilaya mushalayudhah TRANSLATION The angry ape then released a rain of stones upon Lord Balarama, but the wielder of the club easily pulverized them all. PURPORT Srila Prabhupada writes, "When no more trees were available, Dvivida took help from the hills and threw large pieces of stone, like rainfall, upon the body of Balarama. Lord Balarama, in a great sporting mood, began to smash those big pieces of stone into mere pebbles." Even today there are many sports wherein people enjoy striking a ball or similar object with a stick or bat. This sporting propensity exists originally in the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who playfully (lilaya) pulverized the deadly boulders hurled at Him by the powerful Dvivida. ys bh mira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
