TRANSLATION

Lord Kṛṣṇa tied up the evil-doer with a strip of cloth. He then proceeded to disfigure Rukmī by comically shaving him, leaving parts of his mustache and hair. By that time the Yadu heroes had crushed the extraordinary army of their opponents, just as elephants crush a lotus flower.


PURPORT

Lord Kṛṣṇa used His same sharp sword to give the wicked Rukmī a peculiar haircut.
