Let no one slander the devotees of Hari, for Govinda does not tolerate it. He takes form and incarnates to grant fearlessness to his devotees and to bring ruin upon the wicked. Durvasa came to torment Ambarisha, but the Sudarshana disc chased him relentlessly. When Draupadi was humiliated, Shripati himself came forth and brought the Kauravas to grief. He could not bear even a small slight shown against the Pandavas, and cast aside his friend Balarama for his partiality. Says Tuka, he bore the stain upon his own body when Ashwatthama slew the sons of the Pandavas.
