When death will come, nobody can check. Death is God. When Kṛṣṇa desires that "This man should be killed now," or "He must die now," nobody can check. Rākhe kṛṣṇa mare ke mare kṛṣṇa rākhe ke. If Kṛṣṇa desires to kill somebody, nobody can give him protection—no power. And if He wants to save somebody, nobody can kill him. This is Kṛṣṇa's protection.

So ''dhīmatā. Dhī'' means intelligence. ''Dhī'' means intelligence. So one who has got intelligence. Every word is used with full meaning. Sanskrit language is so nice. Therefore it is called Sanskrit. Sanskrit, ''saṁskṛta. Saṁskṛta'' means reform. And the alphabets are called ''devanāgarī. Devanāgarī'' means these alphabets . . . just like in Europe the roman letters are used, similarly, in the upper planetary system these alphabets are used, ''devanāgarī'', used in the cities of the demigods. And the language is called Sanskrit, "most reformed." And Sanskrit is the mother of all languages.

Even in this planet, the Latin is also derived from Sanskrit. Just like the "maternal," the ''matṛ-śabda''; "paternal," ''pitṛ-śabda''. So ''dhīmatā''. So here the writer is Vyāsadeva. So every word is selected, either in ''Bhagavad-gītā'' or in ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' or the ''Purāṇas'', all writings of . . . ''Mahābhārata'', each and every word is used just like weighing in the balance. There should be . . . so many words should be in the beginning, so many words should be in the end. And not whimsically. That cannot be allowed. That is called ''saṁskṛta sāhitya'', literary. Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu when he was hearing Keśava Kāśmīrī, as soon as there was little discrepancy, ''bhavānī-bhartā'', immediately He criticized and defeated him. Sanskrit language is so nice.

''Paśyaitāṁ pāṇḍu-putrāṇām ācārya'': "My dear teacher, just see how many military soldiers are standing there on behalf of the Pāṇḍavas, and they have been arranged by ''your'' disciple, who is meant for killing ''you''. So just remember." That means, "You become more strong, that this boy and the other party may not kill you." But Duryodhana does not know that the death does not depend on military strength or bodily strength. When death will come, nobody can check. Death is God. When Kṛṣṇa desires that, "This man should be killed now," or "He must die now," nobody can check. ''Rākhe kṛṣṇa mare ke mare kṛṣṇa rākhe ke''. If Kṛṣṇa desires to kill somebody, nobody can give him protection—no power. And if He wants to save somebody, nobody can kill him. This is Kṛṣṇa's protection.

Therefore this big, big commander-in-chief Dronācārya and Bhīṣmadeva, Karṇa, they were very, very big, powerful commanders. Arjuna was nothing before them. Arjuna was just like . . . Parīkṣit Mahārāja compared that, "My grandfather was just like an ordinary fish, and these soldiers, these commanders, just like ''timiṅgala''." ''Timiṅgala'', there is a fish—we get information from Vedic literature—very big fish. They swallow up the whales. ''Timi. Timi'' means whale fish. And ''timiṅgala'' means . . . just like small fish are swallowed up like this. So just imagine how big such fish is. So these commanders, Karṇa, Dronācārya and Bhīṣma, were compared with the ''timiṅgala''. And Arjuna, although very powerful, he was compared with ''timi''. So Parīkṣit Mahārāja admitted that, "It was not possible for my grandfather to win over the battle before these big, big commanders. It is only by the grace of Kṛṣṇa he was saved."

So the conclusion is if Kṛṣṇa saves, nobody can kill; and if Kṛṣṇa wants to kill, nobody can save. Therefore our conclusion should be that we should always be under the protection of Kṛṣṇa. ''Avaśya rakṣibe kṛṣṇa''. This is ''śaraṇāgati. Śaraṇāgati'', surrender. Surrender means that, "I am surrendering to Kṛṣṇa with full faith that He is quite competent and able to give me protection." This is called surrender.

Not that hesitation: "Oh, I will surrender to Kṛṣṇa, and in case of danger, He may not be able to give me protection." That is not surrender. With full faith: "Yes, Kṛṣṇa is so powerful, Kṛṣṇa is so great, that I am surrendering to Kṛṣṇa from this day: 'From this day . . . Kṛṣṇa, I was wandering throughout the universe life after life, without knowing my relationship with You. Now, today, I surrender unto You. Kindly accept me and engage me in Your service.' " This is called surrender.
