कृष्णाश्रयाः कृष्णबलाः कृष्णनाथाश् च पाण्डवाः ॥
कृष्णः परायणं चैषां ज्योतिषाम् इव चन्द्रमाः ॥
तस्मात् पर्णानि शाखाश् च स्कन्धं चोत्सृज्य सूतज ॥
कृष्णं निकृन्धि पाण्डूनां मूलं सर्वत्र सर्वदा ॥
हन्याद् यदि हि दाशार्हं कर्णो यादवनन्दनम् ॥
कृत्स्ना वसुमती राजन् वशे ते स्यान् न संशयः ॥
यदि हि स निहतः शयीत भूमौ; यदुकुलपाण्डवनन्दनो महात्मा ॥
ननु तव वसुधा नरेन्द्र सर्वा; सगिरिसमुद्रवना वशं व्रजेत ॥

"Resting on Krishna, made strong by Krishna, the Pandavas, whose lord is Krishna; Krishna is their refuge, as the moon among the stars. Therefore, leaving aside the leaves and branches and the trunk, O son of the suta, cut down Krishna — the root of the Pandavas — everywhere, always. Should Karna slay the Dasharha, the delight of the Yadavas, the whole earth, O king, would be in your power, no doubt. Should he, struck down, lie upon the ground — the great-souled delight of the Yadu race and the Pandavas — surely then all your earth, O lord of men, with its mountains, oceans, and forests, would come under your power."

The Kurus imagine that killing Krishna would put the whole earth at their feet. It is telling that they see in him not a mere charioteer but the very center of all things, "the moon among the stars" — and yet plot his death. The verse teaches the blindness of audacity: to recognize the divine and still raise a hand against it is the height of folly; whoever plots to cut down the very root of creation saws off the branch he sits on — for against the Lord every scheme turns back upon the schemer.
