	When Lord Viṣṇu appeared before Bali Mahārāja to beg three steps of land, the Lord's second step pierced the shells of the universe. The water of the transcendental river Virajā, lying just outside the universal egg, thus seeped inside, washing Lord Vāmana's foot and flowing down to become the Ganges River. Because of the sanctity of its origin, the Ganges is generally considered the most holy of rivers. But even more potent is the water of the Yamunā, where Lord Viṣṇu in His original form of Govinda played with His intimate companions.

	In these two verses the assembled kings praise the special merit of Lord Kṛṣṇa's Yadu clan. Not only do they see Kṛṣṇa, but they are also directly connected with Him by dual bonds of marital and blood relationships. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī suggests that the word bandha, beside its more obvious meaning of "relation," can also be understood in the sense of "capture," expressing that the love the Yadus feel for the Lord obliges Him always to stay with them.
