Sri Suta uvacha:
Parikshitai evam adistah sa kalir jata vepathuh
Tam udyatam asim adehh dandapanim iva udyatam

Sri Sua uvacha—Sri Suta Goswami said, Parikshitair—by Maharaj Parikshit, Evam—thus, Adistah—being ordered, Sa—he, Kalir—of the personality of Kali, Jata—there was, Vepathu—trembling, Tam—him, Udyatam—raised up, Asim—Sword, Aha—said, Idam—thus, Dandapanim—Yamaraj the personality of death, Iva—like, Uddatam—almost ready.


TRANSLATION

Sri Suta Goswami then explained before the Rishis like Sounaka and others. He said that the personality of Kali thus being ordered by Maharaj Parikshit began to tremble in fear and seeing him like the personality of death Yamaraj ready to kill him, Kali said unto the king as follows:


PURPORT

The king was ready to kill him at once as soon as the personality of Kali would disobey his order. Otherwise the king had no objection to allow him prolonging his life. The personality of Kali also, after attempting to get rid of the punishment in varions ways, decided it that he must surrender unto him and thus he began to tremble in fear of his life. The king or the executive head must be so strong as to stand before the personality of Kali as if the personality of death Yamaraj. The kings order must be obeyed otherwise the culprits life is in risk. That is the way of ruling over the personalities of Kali who would create distrurbance in the normal life of the state citizens.
