। ॥ २३८ ॥
In plain words
Kaṃsa's inner self was strained toward Vaikuṇṭha with unbroken longing — and for the offence his body had committed, the crest-jewel of the Yadu line brought him down.
Close to the Sanskrit
Because of the offence committed by the body, the crest-ornament of the family of the foremost Yadus destroyed Kaṃsa, whose inner self was straining toward Vaikuṇṭha.
