Bhimasena, having adopted a vast resolve and burning with the desire to finish off Jarasandha, then said to Krishna, descendant of Yadu: "It is not fitting for me, O Krishna, O tiger of the Yadu race, to spare this sinner's life — for me, who have girded my loins for battle."

It is significant that Bhima, already having overpowered his foe, turns to Krishna for the decision rather than executing the enemy on his own authority. The strength is in his hands, but he entrusts the right to pass judgment to the Lord. Herein a trait of true service reveals itself: the doer does not claim the final word for himself. The tyrant who prepared living men for slaughter now himself stands at his end — but this end comes to pass not as self-willed vengeance, but by the sanction from above.
