# Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 9 Text 35

**[Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 1 Chapter 9 Text 35](http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/9/35)**

 

*
sapadi sakhi-vaco niśamya madhye
nija-parayor balayo rathaṁ niveśya
sthitavati para-sainikāyur akṣṇā
hṛtavati pārtha-sakhe ratir mamāstu

TRANSLATION
In obedience to the command of His friend, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa entered the arena of the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra between the soldiers of Arjuna and Duryodhana, and while there He shortened the life spans of the opposite party by His merciful glance. This was done simply by His looking at the enemy. Let my mind be fixed upon that Kṛṣṇa.
