jarāsandha kahe,--"kṛṣṇa--puruṣa-adhama



tora saṅge nā yujhimu, "yāhi bandhu-han"
jarāsandha kahe-Jarāsandha says; kṛṣṇa-Kṛṣṇa; puruṣa-adhama-the lowest of human beings; tora saṅge-with You; nā yujhimu-I shall not fight; yāhi-because; bandhu-han-killer of Your own relatives.
"The demon Jarāsandha chastised Kṛṣṇa, saying, 'You are the lowest of human beings. I shall not fight with You, for You killed Your own relatives.'

In this verse also, mother Sarasvatī offers prayers to Kṛṣṇa. The word puruṣa-adhama refers to the Personality of Godhead, under whom all other persons remain, or, in other words, puruṣa-uttama, the best of all living beings. Similarly, the word bandhu-han means "the killer of māyā." In the conditioned state of life, one is closely related with māyā as a friend, but when one comes in contact with Kṛṣṇa one is freed from that relationship.
