With Bhishma's permission, mighty Sahadeva offered the finest arghya to the Vrishni scion according to rite; and Krishna accepted it by an act prescribed by shastra. Shishupala, however, could not bear this honor to Vasudeva. And, having reproached Bhishma and Dharmaraja in the assembly, the mighty king of Chedi rejected [the worship of] Vasudeva.

In a single moment two hearts stand revealed: Krishna 'accepts [the honor] by an act prescribed by shastra' — without pride, as something fitting and ordained — while Shishupala 'could not bear it.' This contrast is telling: the very same exaltation of the Lord is joy for the devoted and unbearable offense for the envious. Envy goes blind exactly where light dawns for others: the more manifest Krishna's greatness, the fiercer the outcry of one unable to acknowledge it. The verse teaches that reverence for the Lord divides hearts — it reveals who will bow and who will rise up in defiance; and blasphemy against the Supreme springs not from any unworthiness in Him, but from the unhealed pride of the blasphemer.
