TEXT No. 20

Yam manyase matulayam priam mitram suhrittamam
Akoroh sachivam dutam souhrida atha sarthim


ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Yam—the person. Manyase—you think, Matulayam—material cousin, Priyam—very dear, Mitram—friend, Suhrittamam—ardent wellwisher, Akoroh—executed, Sachivam—counsel, Dutam—messenger, Souhrida—by good will, Atha—thereupon, Sarathim—charioteer.


TRANSLATION

Oh the king, the Personality Whom, out of ignorance only, you thought to be your maternal cousin, very dear friend, wellwisher, counsel, messenger, benefactor etc. (He is the same Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna)


PURPORT

Lord Sri Krishna although acted as the cousin brother, friend, wellwisher, messenger, benefactor etc. of the Pandavas, He was still the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Out of His causeless mercy and favor upon His unalloyed devotees, He accepts all kinds of service of the devotees but that does not mean He has changed His position of becoming the Absolute Person. To think of Him as an ordinary man is the grossest type of ignorance.
