The fact of your having got the inconceivable Narayana for your protector and refuge, enabled you to become an Adhvaryu (chief sacrificer) for pouring multitudes of kings as libations on the burning fire of battle. This Krishna was your great sacrificial ladle resembling the all-destroying fire which appears at the end of the cycle.
अयं नाथस्तवाचिन्त्यो यस्य नारायणो गतिः॥ स भवांस्त्वमुपाध्व! रणाग्नौ हुतवान् नृपान्। कृष्णस्तुवेण महत्ता युगान्ताग्निसमेत वै॥
