- Anye cha karshni pravarah saputra rishabhadayah.
TRANSLATION
All chieftains-like sons of Lord Krishna such as Susena, Charudhesna, Sambo the sons of Jambobati, Rishava and all others along with their sons etc. are they all doing well?
PURPORT
As already referred to herein before that Lord Krishna had married sixteen thousand one hundred and eight wives so each of them had ten sons. Therefore 16108 x 10=161080 sons. They were all grown up and therefore each of them had as many sons as their father and the whole aggregate was some thing near about one crores of family members of the Lord. It is just like the Lord. The Lord is the Father of all living beings who are countless by number and therefore if only a few of them are called for associating with the Lord in His transcendental pastime as the Lord of Dwarka on this earth there is nothing to be astonished if the Lord maintained a visible family consisting of one crore of members. It is better to refrain ourselves from calculating the Lord's position as that of ours and it becomes a simple truth as soon as we understand at least a partial calculation of the Lord's transcendental position. King Yudhisthira while enquiring about the Lord's sons and grand sons at Dwarka, he mentioned only the chieftains amongst them otherwise it was impossible for him also to remember all the names of the Lord's family members.
