SUMMARY:
The strongest among his friends used to attack Vasudeva separately and in
union. Vasudeva was able to vanquish all of them with utmost ease and with a
smile on his face. Vasudeva was making all of them fall on the ground, when it
came to physical attack.
These
acts of Vasudeva indicate that he was the incarnation of Lord Bheemasena, who
could confront and defeat ten thousand soldiers at a time, single handedly.

SUMMARY:
With Vasudeva proving to be outstanding in releasing himself out of the
stranglehold of others, in tightly cathing others so that it was impossible for
them to get relieved and in lifting heavy weights, was it not true in what everyone
was praising him by saying “He is indeed equal to Bheema”?
There
is a clear statement in this shloka that Vasudeva was far ahead of all his
fellow beings in both studies and sports. Vasudeva was a notch above all others
in every sports event. People used to liken Vasudeva with Bheema, without
actually knowing that Vasudeva was indeed anincarnation of Lord Bheemasena. It
must be noted that no individual on earth can excel in all types of sports and
games, whereas there was not a single event in which Vasudeva was not
excellent.

SUMMARY:
With Vasudeva always getting engaged in sports, not always concentrating on
studies, frequently going home and
always coming to the class very late, his Guru Totantillaya was upset as he was
unaware that Vasudeva was a Master of Masters, Jagadguru.
The
Chalari Vyakhyan further explains the state of mind of Totantillaya about
Vasudeva. It is said that Vasudeva was not paying as much attention to studies
as he was to sports and games. Vasudeva used to go to his home every now and
then and he was always late in returning from his home. It was because: Kila
shabdaha UpADhyAyasya aparitOShaha tanmAhAtmyAjnAnamUlakaha iti arTham vadati| meaning:
The word “Kila” (it comes in the second line of this stanza.) explains the
dissatisfaction of Totantillaya with Vasudeva because of utter lack of knowledge
about Vasudeva that he was the Master of Universe or Jagadguru.

SUMMARY:
Once when Totantillaya observed that Vasudeva was thinking elsewhere amidst the
class, became angry and asked him: “You cheat! Why are you not studying well
with your fellow students? Why are you always thinking elsewhere?”
This
Shloka further explains the fact that even the Guru of Vasudeva was not aware
that his student was a Jagadguru.
