In other incarnation, Kṛṣṇa comes with weapon. As Lord Rāmacandra He came with bows and arrows. As Kṛṣṇa He came with disc and club. Here Kṛṣṇa has come compassionately to distribute mercy to the fallen souls. So He has not taken any astra, any weapon. His weapon is His associate devotee. Caitanya Mahāprabhu's associate, Nityānanda Prabhu, He is going to kill Jagāi and Mādhāi, not by weapon, but by His mercy.

Caitanya Mahāprabhu, so long He lived on this planet, He was always associated with devotees. The most confidential devotees, Caitanya Mahāprabhu: ''śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya'', the central point, ''prabhu nityānanda śrī-advaita gadādhara śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda''. So ''sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam'', ''kṛṣṇa-varṇam''. He is always chanting "Kṛṣṇa." He is Kṛṣṇa Himself, ''tviṣā akṛṣṇam'', but His bodily complexion is not like Kṛṣṇa. And other feature: ''sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam'', and He is always associated with His devotees. They are His soldiers. ''Sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam.''

In other incarnation, Kṛṣṇa comes with weapon. As Lord Rāmacandra He came with bows and arrows. As Kṛṣṇa He came with disc and club. Here, Kṛṣṇa has come compassionately to distribute mercy to the fallen souls, so He has not taken any ''astra'', any weapon. His weapon is His associate devotee. Caitanya Mahāprabhu's associate, Nityānanda Prabhu, He is going to kill Jagāi and Mādhāi not by weapon, but by His mercy. He went to preach Jagāi and Mādhāi, the drunkards, the woman-hunters, flesh-eaters, and they hurt Him. Still, He delivered them.

So these ''astra'' . . . this is the ''astra''. By argument, by philosophy, by entreating, by flattering They are giving Kṛṣṇa consciousness, Advaita Prabhu, Nityānanda Prabhu. Yes. Otherwise, they are already killed. Kṛṣṇa, if He kills them, then everything is finished. They are already killed by so many bad habits. They are going to hell. So those who are already killed, so what will be benefit by killing them? So deliver them. ''Sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam''. This is the incarnation of Kṛṣṇa. It is stated.
