Sparing those who deserve to be spared, Krishna sets himself to the destruction of the Asuras, O Partha. It is he who is all acts proper and improper and it is he who is the cause. It is Krishna who is the act done, the act to be done, and the act that is being done. Know that the illustrious one is Rahu and Soma and Shakra.
त्याज्यं त्यक्त्वा चासुराणां वधाय कार्याकार्य कारणं चैव पार्थ। कृतं करिष्यत् क्रियते च देवो राहुं सोमं विद्धि च शक्रमेनम्॥
