बाणभुजकृन्तनगर्वापहारवर्णनं नाम पञ्चपञ्चाशत्तमोऽध्यायः 
Cutting of the hands of Banasura and destroying his pride – Chapter 55



रुद्र उवाच |
Lord Rudra said (to Lord Krishna)



त्वं तु योगीश्वरः साक्षात्परमात्मा जनार्दनः |
विचार्यतां स्वमनसा सर्वभूतहिते रतः || 37 ||
You are the Janardana, Yogi God, the visible supreme soul. You who are busy doing good to all creatures, should think with your own mind (and not kill Banasura).
