'Strīmadhye iva,' 'as if among women' — Krishna tends the horses so calmly and unhurriedly, as though in a peaceful chamber and not amid the thick of slaughter. The Lord's composure is absolute. It is telling that amid thousands of enemies He acts as though at ease at home. The verse teaches the Lord's perfect calm in every circumstance: for the Lord there is no 'dangerous place' — He is equally serene in a chamber and amid armies; and this composure of His is an image of an inner peace beyond the reach of outer turmoil.
