seeing through the eyes of scriptures

the good fortune of Bali and Bali maharaja and Suparnakha !

the good fortune of Bali and Bali maharaja and Suparnakha !

So in the Brahmara Gita Srimati Radharani chastised Krsna in the form of a Bumble bee, our acaryas has explained that Krsna Himself became this Bumble been to hear the accusation of Srimati Radharani .So in Srimad Bhagavatam 10.47.17 Srimati Radharani had chastised Krsna for in His previous incarnation as Lord Ramachandra to kill Vali also called Bali ,however in his next life Bali became the hunter Jara that shot an arrow in Sri Krsnas lotusfoot at the end of His pastimes and Krsna took Jara /Bali with Him to Goloka Vrindavana .Bali Maharaja may have been tied with ropes for a few minutes to please the Demigods ,then he was given even greater comforts by Lord Vamanadeva on Sutala Loka where Lord Vamanadev to this day resides .So please understand this when you read Sri Radhas complain about Sri Krsna .Suparnaka in her next life became Kubja ...so she was also fortunate ,,Sri Krsna is most merciful and this was left out by Sri Radha ,so as a devotee of Sri Krsna ,I have to defend my Lord from Her attack and accusation :

Translation
Like a hunter, He cruelly shot the king of the monkeys with arrows. Because He was conquered by a woman, He disfigured another woman who came to Him with lusty desires. And even after consuming the gifts of Bali Mahārāja, He bound him up with ropes as if he were a crow. So let us give up all friendship with this dark-complexioned boy, even if we can’t give up talking about Him.

Purport
In Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains the meaning of this verse as follows: “[Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī said to the bee,] ‘You poor messenger, you are only a less intelligent servant. You do not know much about Kṛṣṇa — how ungrateful and hardhearted He has been, not only in this life but in His previous lives also. We have all heard this from our grandmother Paurṇamāsī. She has informed us that Kṛṣṇa was born in a kṣatriya family previous to this birth and was known as Rāmacandra. In that birth, instead of killing Vāli, an enemy of His friend, in the manner of a kṣatriya, He killed him just like a hunter. A hunter takes a secure hiding place and then kills an animal without facing it. So Lord Rāmacandra, as a kṣatriya, should have fought with Vāli face to face, but instigated by His friend, He killed him from behind a tree. Thus He deviated from the religious principles of a kṣatriya. Also, He was so attracted by the beauty of Sītā that He converted Śūrpaṇakhā, the sister of Rāvaṇa, into an ugly woman by cutting off her nose and ears. Śūrpaṇakhā proposed an intimate relationship with Him, and as a kṣatriya He should have satisfied her. But He was so henpecked that He could not forget Sītādevī and converted Śūrpaṇakhā into an ugly woman. Before that birth as a kṣatriya, He took birth as a brāhmaṇa boy known as Vāmanadeva and asked charity from Bali Mahārāja. Bali Mahārāja was so magnanimous that he gave Him whatever he had, yet Kṛṣṇa as Vāmanadeva ungratefully arrested him just like a crow and pushed him down to the Pātāla kingdom. We know all about Kṛṣṇa and how ungrateful He is. But here is the difficulty: in spite of His being so cruel and hardhearted, it is very difficult for us to give up talking about Him.’”

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī points out that this speech of Rādhārāṇī’s is called avajalpa, as described by Rūpa Gosvāmī in the following verse from the Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi (14.192):

harau kāṭhinya-kāmitva-
dhaurtyād āsakty-ayogyatā
yatra serṣyā-bhiyevoktā
so ’vajalpaḥ satāṁ mataḥ
“Saintly persons have concluded that when a lover, impelled by jealousy and fear, declares that Lord Hari is unworthy of her attachment because of His harshness, lustiness and dishonesty, such speech is called avajalpa.”
