Thus having spoken to Partha, the lotus-eyed, mighty-armed Krishna then summoned that rakshasa, and he appeared before them. Armored, with arrows, with sword and with bow, o lord of men, having saluted Krishna and the Pandava Dhananjaya, he said to him then, joyful: "Here I am — command me." Then, as if smiling, Dasharha [Krishna] addressed the son of Hidimba, who resembled a cloud, with blazing face, with blazing earrings: "Ghatotkacha, hear what I shall say to you, my son."

Ghatotkacha appears "joyful" and gives himself over to the will of another: "here I am — command me." It is telling, this obedience of a rakshasa usually self-willed: love and devotion tame the wild nature. The verse teaches that true devotion is ready for anything at the word of the beloved, without bargaining; and the son of Bhima, dreadful in form, is gentle of heart before Krishna and his father's kin — for valor, touched by love, turns into selfless service.
