SB 10.57.12-13
naham isvarayoh kuryam
helanam rama-krsnayoh
ko nu ksemaya kalpeta
tayor vrjinam acaran
kamsah sahanugo ’pito
yad-dvesat tyajitah sriya
jarasandhah saptadasa-
samyugad viratho gatah
Translation:
[Krtavarma said:] I dare not offend the Supreme Lords, Krsna and Balarama. Indeed, how can one who troubles Them expect any good fortune? Kamsa and all his followers lost both their wealth and their lives because of enmity toward Them, and after battling Them seventeen times Jarasandha was left without even a chariot.
Purport:
Srila Sridhara Svami explains that the word helanam indicates acting against the Lords’ will, and that vrjinam indicates an offense against the Lords.
