The Justification of Krsna's Annihilation of His Own Clan
7. See my book, Divinity of Krsna, pp. 70-73 8. See p. xxxiv. 9. See Belvalkar's note on 16.7.11 ed. critical ed. p. 48. 10. Nīlakantha reads anayāt, instead of anayam (Critical text, 16.7.11) : Krsņa is
indifferent, he says, because the Yādava boys are guilty. However, in an alternative explanation, he identifies Krsna's indifference with the calamity
(on 16.7.11=on 16.6.13 in the vulgate text.) 11. This passage, however, is a later interpolation, according to Paranjpe :
Striparvan, ed. Vasudev Gopal Paranjpe, Vol. 12. pt 2 (1956), of The Mahābhārata, critically ed. by Vishnu S. Sukthankar and others, 19 vols. (Poona : Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona 1933-1959), p. 120,
note on 12.26.1. 12. For some other past publications, I have also referred to the commentary of
Ratnagarbha, called Vaisnavākuţacandrikā, Bombay Saka 1824. This time, however, in spite of searching in several libraries, I have not been successful in tracing the book. However, in connection with our topic, I do not expect
Ratnagarbha's gloss to differ much from that of Sridhara. 13. Śrīdhara clarifies that Krsna does so under the guise of the Brahmins' curse
(on 5.37.21). 14. Śrīdhara points out that this means they do not heed Krsna's words. (on 5.37.43;
in my text, his comment is wrongly assigned to v.42). 15. Wrongly printed as his comment on v. 44. 16. In my printed text, BP's gloss is on the same verse, but his comment is numbered
as 11.1.25. 17. GD on 11.1.1; GD, JG (Ks), RR, VD on 11.1.10; BP, SD, SS, VB, VR on 11.1.10
11; GS, VJ, Sudarśanasūrin on 11.1.11; VB on 11.1.18; GS on 11.30.1. 18. However, in 11.30.24 Krsna himself kills some of the Yādavas, although he
does so only when attacked by them (11.30.23). 19. See S.K. De, Early History of the Vaisnava Faith and Movement in Bengal, 2nd
ed. : Firma K. L. Mukhopadhyay, Calcutta 1961, pp. 342-344. 20. For more details, see O.B.L. Kapoor, The Philosophy and Religion of Sri Caitanya :
