That chariot, named Sodaryavan, holding two warriors, striking at close range and visible from afar, unconquerable by all kings — occupied by the warriors Bhima and Arjuna, with Krishna as charioteer, shone, the best of chariots, unconquerable by all archers. For upon it Shakra and Vishnu had fought in the battle of Tarakamaya; mounting that chariot, Krishna then set out.

The chariot on which Shakra and Vishnu once fought together in the war of Tarakamaya now carries Krishna with his two brothers — and the tyrant's trophy becomes a sign of the ancient alliance between the Lord and righteous strength. It is significant that the instrument that had served Jarasandha, in the hands of the Supreme, returns to its true purpose: it is "unconquerable" not in itself, but through the one who rides upon it. The verse reminds us that everything that exists belongs to the Lord, and whatever is seized by unrighteousness sooner or later returns to Him.
