prasāryāvasthito hariḥ

TRANSLATION

Having spoken these words, the infallible Lord Hari slapped His arms with His palms, further angering Ariṣṭa with the loud sound. The Lord then casually threw His mighty, serpentine arm over the shoulder of a friend and stood facing the demon.

PURPORT

Lord Kṛṣṇa showed His contempt for the ignorant demon.
