## Chapter Twenty-Seven
**Verse 282:** Do not even slightly harm the ascetics who have renounced all attachments, for they are free from evil thoughts.
**Verse 283:** Just as a lion kills a deer, so did Hari kill Chanura. Just as a thunderbolt shatters Kansa, so did He shatter Kansa. Just as death takes away a child, so did He defeat Shishupala in battle. How can such a glorious being not be considered the greatest among men?
**Verse 284:** Just as a lion roars after conquering a powerful elephant, so did Krishna roar after conquering Jarasandha, the ocean of strength. He conquered all his enemies and became the conqueror of the world. Just as He protected the cows in His childhood, so did He protect the three-part, undivided land with only a staff in His hand in His youth. Therefore, He is called a Gop (protector of the earth).
**Verse 285:** Look, on the one hand, Krishna obtained extraordinary wealth by destroying all His enemies. On the other hand, He was completely destroyed in a desolate forest, separated from the entire world. This is just, for in this world, everyone receives what they deserve according to their actions. Indeed, the wheel of existence keeps turning like the spokes of a wheel.
**Verse 286:** Look, Krishna, having killed the demon Ayura, became the king of the Yadavas. From that time onwards, the burden of the kingdom fell upon Him. Therefore, those who are wise should strive to maintain their unbroken connection with the Supreme Being, for they are constantly seeking happiness.
**Commentary:** In His lifetime, Krishna was betrayed by a Chandala in the presence of the ascetics. Therefore, he went to hell due to his evil thoughts. However, through penance, he attained the wealth of the kingdom and ultimately met his destruction. Therefore, the Acharya says, "Do not even slightly harm the ascetics who have renounced all attachments, for they are free from evil thoughts."
