मुनिलोग उस स्थानका नाम प्रियसड्रमन बतलाते हैं, जहाँ वे दोनों कमललोचन बन्धु माता-पितासे मिले थे कुरुनन्दन! तदनन्तर श्रीकृष्णने इन्द्रको उस स्थानपर अपनी वाणीद्वारा अभयदान दिया; जहाँ समस्त धर्माचारी समृद्धिसे, जो उन्हींके अनुरूप थी, युक्त हो अपने-अपने विमानोंद्वारा स्वर्गलोकको गये॥ ३३॥ राजन्! कश्यप, अदिति, इन्द्र और श्रीकृष्ण--ये सब लोग एक विमानपर बैठकर स्वर्गलोकको गये ॥ ३४ ॥ कुरुनन्दन ! सर्वसद्गुण- सम्पन्न रमणीय इन्द्रभवनमें पहुँचकर वे समस्त धर्माचारी महात्मा बड़े आनन्दके साथ एक ही जगह ठहरे

Vaishampayana said:—At this time the spies assembled at the house of Baladeva resembling that of a patriarch (1). when those spies arrived there for cropping up the topic of future dissension all the leading Yādavas were present in the assembly at Krishna's mandate (2). When all the leading Yādavas assembled at the meeting, the emissaries announced the future destruction of the kings, saying (3): "O Janarddana, at the invitation of Bhoja's son a great meeting of the kings will take place at the city of Kundina. There the kings of various provinces are repairing in haste (4-5). People there, as we have heard, are announcing that Rukshmini, the first sister of Rukshmi, will hold her Swayamvara (6). For this, O Janārddana, all the kings, with their army and followers, are repairing there (7). O Yādava, on the third day hereof, the Swayamvara, of Rushmini adorned with golden ornaments, the fairest in the three worlds, will take place (8). Proceeding on elephants, horses and cars, all the kings, elated with pride like unto lions and tigers, bent upon injuring one another, gifted with the gait of infuriated elephants, fond of battle and highly powerful, will assemble there. We shall behold those hundreds of encampments of the high-souled ones (9–10). O descendant of Yadu, while all the kings of earth have assembled why should we remain depressed alone? Let us all, encircled by our armies, set out for victory (11)."
