The whole of Panchanada, and likewise Aparaparyata, Uttarajyotika and the city of Vrindataka, the Ramathas, the Harahunas, and all the western kings — all of them the Pandava subdued by a single command. Remaining there, the lord sent a messenger to Vasudeva, and he, with ten kingdoms, received his command.

It is marvelous and deeply meaningful: Vasudeva Himself "receives the command" of Nakula, and with ten kingdoms at that. It is telling that the Lord, the Master of all, is pleased to take a part in the order of an earthly kingdom, as if submitting to a servant. This descent is an image of His play: He to whom everything belongs plays the role of a tributary for the exaltation of the devotee. The verse teaches that in relationships of love the Supreme freely diminishes Himself — not from need, but from grace; and His very greatness lies in this, that He is able to bow while remaining the Lord, for the joy of those He loves.
