vikatthamanah kumatir

Translation: 

 

Boasting thus, foolish Rukmi, ignorant of the true extent of the Supreme Lord’s power, approached Lord Govinda in his lone chariot and challenged Him, “Just stand and fight!”

 

Purport: 

 

It appears from these verses that though Rukmi set out with an entire military division, he personally rushed up to Lord Krsna to fight with Him.
