The Angas, Vangas, Kalingas and Magadhas, the Kashis and Kosalas, the Vatsas, Gargas, Karushas and Pundras, [Krishna] conquered in battle; the Avantyas and the southerners, the mountain-dwellers, the Dasherakas, the Kashmirakas, the Aurasakas, the Pishachas together with the Mandaras; the Kambojas, the Vatadhanas, the Cholas and Pandyas, O Sanjaya, the Trigartas, the Malavas, and the unconquerable Daradas; and the swarms of the Ashvakas and Shakas, gathered from every quarter of the world, who had descended upon him, the lotus-eyed [Krishna] overcame, and the Yavanas together with their retainers.

The long roll of subdued peoples reveals the universal scope of Krishna's power: there is no corner of the earth beyond the Lord's reach. Yet this is no tyrant's greedy conquest, but the establishment of order by the One to whom all rightfully belongs. It is significant that "lotus-eyed" recurs three times: amid the account of wars, the narrative again and again recalls the beauty of the Conqueror — His might is not ugly, as that of earthly conquerors, but beautiful, for it is the might of the Beautiful One Himself. The verse teaches that the Lord's dominion extends to all peoples and lands, for He is the Lord of all that exists; that His conquest is the restoration of rightful sovereignty, not seizure; and that even in a list of victories His beauty shines forth, setting the Lord apart from every earthly victor.
