Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda


TRANSLATION

After having the club ground to bits, King Āhuka [Ugrasena] of the Yadus personally threw the pieces, along with the remaining lump of iron, into the water of the ocean.


PURPORT

King Ugrasena thought, "Sāmba and the others should not feel any shame or fear," and thus without even consulting Śrī Kṛṣṇa he ordered the club ground to bits and thrown into the water, along with a small iron lump that remained, which he considered insignificant.
