[Krtavarma said:] I dare not offend the Supreme Lords, Krsna and Balarama. Indeed, how can one who troubles Them expect any good fortune? Kamsa and all his followers lost both their wealth and their lives because of enmity toward Them, and after battling Them seventeen times Jarasandha was left without even a chariot.

PURPORT

Srila Sridhara Svami explains that the word helanam indicates acting against the Lords' will, and that vrjinam indicates an offense against the Lords.
