Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda


TRANSLATION

You, Rāma, should gather Your courage and fight with me, if You think You can do it. You may either give up Your body when it is cut to pieces by my arrows, and thus attain to heaven, or else kill me.


PURPORT

According to ācārya Śrīdhara Svāmī, Jarāsandha suspected that Lord Balarāma's body was indestructible, and thus he offered what might be a more practical alternative, that Balarāma kill Jarāsandha.
