नारदोक्तिपरामर्शी यमलार्जुनभञ्जनः ।धनदात्मजसङ्घुष्टो नन्दमोचितबन्धनः॥
nāradoktiparāmarśī yamalārjunabhañjanaḥ ·dhanadātmajasaṅghuṣṭo nandamocitabandhanaḥ
mindful of Nārada's word
the sage's decree behind the curse
Nārada's old curse on the two sons of Kubera (for their arrogance in the heavenly Kailasa) had specified that Viṣṇu would come and uproot them; Kṛṣṇa now fulfils Nārada's prediction.
feller of the twin arjuna trees
Kṛṣṇa drags the mortar between the twin Arjuna trees; the mortar catches; he pulls; both enormous trees crash to earth, revealing the now-freed sons of Kubera in their divine forms.
extolled by the sons of Kubera, the wealth-giver
'Praised by the sons of Kubera (dhanada = treasurer)' — freed from their tree-state, Nala-kūvara and Maṇi-grīva deliver a magnificent hymn of recognition to Kṛṣṇa before departing to their celestial abodes.
whose bonds were untied by Nanda
After the trees crash, Nanda and the cowherds come running; they find Kṛṣṇa still tied to the mortar in the wreckage; Nanda himself unties the child, marvelling at his miraculous escape.
