"Jarasandha, the king of Chedi [Shishupala], and the mighty son of Nishada [Ekalavya] — had they not been slain before, they would now be terrifying. Suyodhana would certainly have chosen them, the best of warriors; they, ever hostile to us, would have joined the Kauravas. For they were heroes, great in spirit, skilled in weapons, steadfast fighters; they would have guarded the whole army of Dhartarashtra as if immortal. The son of a suta [Karna], Jarasandha, the king of Chedi, born of Nishada, having resorted to Suyodhana, would have scorched this earth."

Krishna reveals the foresight of providence: the enemies removed, had they lived, would now be destroying the earth on Duryodhana's side. It is significant that the good was accomplished well in advance, before the need became apparent. This verse teaches that wisdom foresees trouble from afar and averts it beforehand; and what seems long past and unconnected to the present was in fact a preparation — for the higher design sows early so that it may reap in its own season.
