पादा धर्मस्य चत्वारो यैरिदं धार्यते जगत्। ब्रह्मचर्येण व्यक्तेन गृहस्थेन चर पावने इत्येते धर्मपादाः स्युः स्वर्गहेतो: प्रचोदिता: न्यायाद् धर्मेण गुढ्केन सोमो वर्धति मण्डले। ब्रह्मणो ब्रह्मचरणाद् वेदा वर्तन्ति शाश्वता: ब्रह्मलोकका महत्त्व बढ़ाकर मार्ग रोकनेवाले पर्वतोंके सहसत्रों टुकड़े करके वे देवी गगनसे भूतलपर अवतीर्ण हुईं। अतः 'गां गता' इस व्युत्पत्तिक अनुसार उनका नाम गड्ढा हुआ। वे सात धाराओंमें विभक्त होकर सब ओर

English

O Janamejaya, afterwards according to Krishna's desire his discus, set with thousands of sharpened axles and destructive of the Daityas, came into the hand of his son. Saluting the high souled Indra and Upendra he discharged it for destroying his enemy. O Bhārata, that discus, discharged by Nārāyana's son, separated Vajranābha's head from his body before the very presence of the Daityas (16–18). The dreadful Sunābha, bent upon killing his enemies and taking delight in battles, was killed by Gada in the battle-field although he was very careful. With sharpened arrows Shāmva, the aggrandiser of his enemies, converted in the battle-field, the enemies of the immortals into the family members of Yama. After the destruction of the great Asura Vajranābha, Nikumbha, in fear of Nārāyana, fled to the city of Shatpura (19–21).

In this way, after the irrepressible enemy of the gods, Vajranabha had been slain, the two high-souled Haris came down to the city of Vajra (22). Having consoled the boys and old persons stricken with fear those two foremost of celestials established peace there (23). O king, thereupon following Vrihaspati's advice and consulting (with him) about the present and future (arrangements) the highly powerful and great Indra and Upendra divided Vajranābha's kingdom into four parts. O king, one-fourth of that kingdom, gained by conquest, was given to Jayanta's son Vijaya, one-fourth to Pradyumna's son, one-fourth to Shāmva's son and the remaining one-fourth to Gada's son Chandraprabha (24–26). O king, with great pleasure Sakra and Keshava divided into four parts also the four koti villages and one thousand prosperous branch cities like the town of Vajra of the kingdom of Vajranābha. O hero, the heroic Vāsava and Keshava also divided, into four parts, various warm clothings, deer-skin, cloths and jewels (27–28). Thereupon those heroic kings, the great descendants of Sakra and Mādhava, were annointed there before the Rishis by the gods Sakra and Krishna with the water of Gangā issuing from Vishnu's feet, accompanied with the music of celestial bugles (29–30). Vijaya, from before, could range in the etherial region, Mādhava's descendants, on account of the virtues inherited from their mother, practised it also (31).

Having thus installed them all the Divine Vāsava said to Jayanta "O heroic victor of armies, it behoves you to protect all these kings. O sinless one, of them one is a perpetuator of my race and the other three are born in the family of Keshava. By my command none amongst creatures will be able to kill them. They will acquire practice of going to the celestial region and Dwarakā protected by the Bhaimas through the etherial way. Give them, as they like, elephants born from those of the quarter, horses born from the race of Ucchaisrava and chariots constructed by the celestial Architect himself (32–35). O hero, give Gada and Shāmva two sons of the elephant Airavata capable of coursing in the sky named Shatrunjaya and Ripunjaya by which these two Bhaimas may come here by the etherial way for seeing their sons and may return to the city of Dwaravati protected by the Bhaimas" (36–37).

Having issued this command the divine Purandara returned to the celestial city and the Lord Keshava to Dwarakā (38). The highly powerful Pradyumna, Gada and Shāmva waited there for six months. And after the kingdoms of their sons had been firmly established they returned to Dwārakā (39). O immortal-like king, those kingdoms still exist by the side of the mount Sumeru and will flourish so long the world subsists (40). After the termination of the war of clubs and the departure of the Vrishnis to the celestial region Gada, Pradyumna and Shāmva repaired to the city of Vajra (41). O king, after living there for a long time, they, by their respective virtuous deeds and the favour of Janārddana, the Creator of the world, again returned to the celestial region. O king, I have thus described the history of Pradyumna. It showers blessings, fame and long life and destroys the enemies. Dwaipayana has said that the sons and grandsons, of the persons who reads or hears it, become freed from diseases and multiply riches and health. He also attains to great fame (42-44).

Vaishampāyana said:—Krishna, seated on Garuda's back, saw the city of Dwārakā, resembling the abode of the celestials, filled with echoes on all sides, the mount Mani, sporting-houses, gardens, forests, turrets and court-yards, (1-2). After the arrival of Devaki's son Krishna at the city (of Dwārakā), the king of gods sent for the celestial Architect and said:—"O foremost of artizans, if you wish to do what pleases me, do you, for satisfying Krishna, make his beautiful city more exquisite. O foremost of gods, encircling it with hundreds of gardens do you build the city of Dwārakā after that of the celestials (3-5). Adorn the city of Dwāravati with all the jems that you will see in the three worlds, for the highly powerful Krishna, rising up for all the works of the gods, always plunges into the dreadful ocean of war". Thereupon repairing to the city of Dwāravati at the words of Indra Vishwakarmā adorned it after Amarāvati. Beholding the city of Dwārakā adorned by Viswakarma with all celestial materials and having accomplished all his objects the Lord Nārāyana Hari, the master of Dāshārhas and ever riding on a bird, entered there. While he entered the city of Dwārakā embellished by Vishwakarmā he saw beautiful trees (6-10). He saw that the city was encircled by ditches filled with lotus-stalks resembling the rivers Gangā (Ganges) and Sindhu (Indus), and in which were sporting the swans (11). As the sky is covered with gold-hued clouds so that city looked beautiful with sunny walls made of gold set on (the roofs of) the houses (12). Encircled with gardens resembling Nandana and Chaitraratha Dwarakā appeared beautiful like the sky stricken with clouds (13). On its eastern side shone a beautiful gate made of gold and jems and the picturesque hill Raivataka with its charming table-land, caves and yards. On the south were bushes adorned with creepers of five colours and on the west was one of the colour of a rain-bow. O king, the yellow mountain Venumān, resembling Mandara, was beautifying the north. The forests of Chitrak, Panchavarna, Pānchajanya and Sarvartuka were enhancing the beauty of the mount Raivataka (14-17). There were also the beautiful forests of Bhārgava and Pushpaka huge like the mount Meru, which were covered with creepers extending to the roots of the trees (18). There were also the forests of Shatavarta and Karavirakarambhi beautified by the trees of Ashoka, Veejaka and Mandāra. The huge forests of Chaitra, Nandana, Ramana, Bhāvana and Venumat were extending their beauty on all sides. O descendant of Bharata, on the east were the great river Mandākini adorned with Vaidurja and lotus leaves and a charming tank. Requested by Vishwakarma numberless gods and Gandharvas, for pleasing Keshava, had adorned the table-lands there. With fifty mouths, the sacred river Mandākini entered into the city of Dwārakā and gladdened the inhabitants thereof. Looking at the city of Dwārakā of incomparable beauty, encircled by ditches and walls, painted with yellow paints and embellished with sharpened Shataghnis and iron discuses Krishna saw that eight thousand cars, adorned with net-works of bells and flying banners, had made the city look beautiful like that of the celestials (19–26). He saw the firmly established city Dwārakā eight _yojanas_ in length and twelve in breadth with double the number of colonies. That city, consisting of eight highways and sixteen crossings, was as if so made by Ushanā himself with one road, that even the women, what to speak of the Vrishnis, could easily fight there. Viswakarmā had laid out seven high roads for the arrangement of soldiers (27–29). Beholding the palaces of the illustrious Dāshārhas, in that best of cities, delightful to men, containing golden and jewelled stairs, filled with dreadful echoes and abounding in courtyards Devaki's son was highly pleased. The turrets of those palaces were adorned with flags, leaves and trees. Those palaces were adorned with golden domes resembling the summits of the mount Meru. The tops of the houses, as if covered with golden flowers and others of five colours, imitated the beauty of mountains with charming summits and caves. Filled with noise like unto the muttering of clouds and burning like forest-fire those houses, built by Viswakarmā, were looking like so many mountains and filled the sky with effulgence like the sun and moon. The city was embellished with forest trees and the noble Dāshārhas. The city of Dwārakā, adorned with cloud-like houses and the gods Vāsudeva and Indra, looked like the welkin stricken with variegated clouds. The house, built by Vishwakarma for the Divine Vāsudeva, was four _yojanas_ in length and the same in breadth. The house of the incomparable and the greatly rich Vāsudeva was adorned with palaces and false mountains. The great Vishwakarmā built that house under Vasava's orders (3-40). Vishwakarmā made a highly beautiful golden palace huge like the highest summit of the mount Sumeru for Rukshmini. It was named Kānchana. Satyabhāmā had a yellow-coloured house adorned with flags effulgent like the clear sun and having stairs set with jewels. It was celebrated by the name of Bhagavān. That well-furnished and best of palaces, which had huge flags all around it, and which used to put on a new appearance every moment, was built for Jāmvavati. Vishwakarmā built another palace by the name of Meru, which was effulgent like burning fire and gold, and huge like the summit of the mount Kailāsha and the ocean. Keshava accomodated the accomplished daughter of the king of Gāndhāra in that house (41-48). For Bhaima was built a house by the name of Padmakula. It was of the hue of a lotus, highly effulgent and had a high and picturesque turret. O foremost of kings, Keshava, the holder of Shrānga bow, had for Lakshmanā built a house by name, _Suryaprabhā_ in which were available all objects of desire (49-50). O descendant of Bharata, the green palace, the effulgence of which imitated the lustre of Vaidurya and which was known all over the world by the name of Para, that ornament of palaces where the great Rishis used to resort, was set apart for Vāsudeva's queen Mitravindā (51-52). That best of palaces, built by Viswakarmā like a mountain, which was spoken high of even by the gods and which was celebrated by the name of Ketumān, was intended for Keshava's queen Suvārtā (53-54). Amongst those palaces, the most beautiful and lustrous, by name Virajā, which the celestial Architect Viswakarmā built with his own hands, and which extended over a _Yojana_ and contained jems of every description, was the court of the high-souled Keshava. In that palace of Vasudeva's were placed flags with golden standards and pennons marking the roads. Keshava, the foremost of the Yadu race, had brought there the great mountain Vaijayanta and diverse other celestial jewels (55-58). The highly powerful Viswakarmā, with the help of the Kinnaras and the great Nāgas, had brought and placed there, before the very eyes of the creatures, the well-known summit of the mount Hansakuta near the lake Indra dyumna which was sixty Tālas high and extended over half a _Yojana_. Viswakarmā had uprooted and brought for Krishna the golden chariot of Sumeru lying in the path of the sun and the most excellent golden summit with hundreds of lotuses known all over the three worlds (59–62). In compliance with Indra's request and in the interest of a great work Twastā had brought that highly beautiful summit containing all sorts of herbs (63). Keshava himself had carried away the Pārijāta tree and kept it in Dwaraka. While bringing it Krishna, of wonderful deeds, had to fight with the gods guarding that tree, Rafts made of gold and jems, lotuses and fragrant jewelled lotuses used to float on the water of the lakes and tanks which were dug for Krishna and adorned with trees covered with jewelled flowers and fruits and hundreds of golden lotuses. The huge Shāla, Tāla and Kadamva trees, with hundreds of branches, beautified the picturesque bank of those lakes. Vishwakarmā, for Krishna, the best of the Yadu race, had brought and planted at Dwārakā all the trees that grow on the mountains Sumeru and Himalaya. At all the boundary lines of the gardens were planted trees that yeild fruits in all the seasons and those crested with white, yellow, red, green and pink flowers. The edges and water of the delightful streams and lakes, which were in that best of cities, was on the same level. And the sandal there was like green sugar. In some of the rivers flowers used to float always; their banks were adorned with various trees and creepers and the sand was of the colour of golden sugar. The trees of the city, resorted to by maddened peacocks and coels, used to look highly beautiful. The herds of elephants, cows, buffaloes, boars, deer and birds used to live happily in that city. In this way Vishwakarmā had made in that beautiful city high golden palaces with hundreds of turrets, huge mountains, rivers, lakes, forests and gardens (64-76).

Vaishampāyana said:—Thus looking at Dwāraka, Krishna, of most excellent eyes, saw his own house consisting of hundreds of palaces. He saw there a million of white jewelled pillars, a gate with jems lustrous like fire and a number of effulgent golden seats placed here and there. For his court a huge palace had been made entirely of gold with crystal pillars. He also saw beautiful and big lakes, with its water full of lotuses and fragrant red lotuses resorted to by maddened peacocks and coels, with golden and jewelled stairs and adorned with various other trees. That house was encircled by Viswakarma with stone walls hundred yards high which were girt with ditches. After the measurement of Indra's palace the celestial Architect had built that house on a plot of land measuring half a _yojana_ on all sides. Seated on Garuda's back she saw that sable-hued palace (1-8). He then blew his conch the sound of which made the hairs of his enemies stand erect. At that sound the ocean was greatly agitated and the sky resounded. Indeed it appeared very wonderful (9). Hearing the sound of Panchajanya conch-shell and seeing Garuda all the members of the Kukura and Andhaka families were freed from sorrow (10). Beholding Keshava effulgent like the sun, with conch-shell, discus, and club in his hands, seated on Garuda, the citizens attained to an excess of joy. Thereupon they began to beat trumpets, blew bugles and set up leonine shouts. Afterwards beholding the slayer of Madhu the Kukuras, Andhakas and other Dāsharhas began to approach him with great delight (11-13). Placing Vasudeva before him and accompanied with the sound of conch-shells and trumpets, the king Ugrasenā repaired to Vāsudeva's palace. Devaki, Rohini and Ahuka's wives began to move about with joy in their own houses. A few moments after, Hari whom serve Indra and other gods, arrived at the appointed house

And himself honored by Rāma, Ahuka, Gada, Pradyumna and others he entered into his residence with the mountain of jewels (17-18). Rukshmini's son Pradyumna himself took to the house the Pārijāta the most favourite of Indra's trees (19). By the power of the Pārijāta the heroes saw the beauty of their own persons and attained to great delight (20). Thus eulogized by the delighted Yadu chiefs Krishna entered into the house constructed by Viswakarma (21). Having placed that mountain of jems with summits in his inner appartment Achyuta, of incomparable energy, united with the Vrishnis, worshipped the celestial tree Pārijāta and planted it in its proper place.

At that time, having agitated completely the ocean, the abode of Makaras, with the wind caused by the flapping of his wings the bird flew towards the eastern sea (1–3). Saying "I will again come at the time of work" Vinatā's son departed. Krishna honored, with jewels acquired by his own prowess, his old father Anakadundubhi, the king Ugrasena, Baladeva, Satyaki Sāndipani, the Brāhmana Gārgya, and other members of the Vrishni, Andhaka and Bhoja races. The ambassadors, adorned with ear-rings and garlands, announced at the crossings and high ways of Dwārakā:—"The enemies of the Brāhnanas have been slain: the slayer of Madhu has returned unscathed from the battle-field and the Vrishnis and Andhakas have acquired victory" (4–8).

Having said this the Lord stopped. Hearing the words of Vasudeva, the Bhojas, Andhakas and Vrishnis, having their hairs stand erect in joy, worshipped Janārddana. Afterwards those heroic men, with folded hands, said to them: "O large-armed son of Devaki, it is no wonder to thee that thou hast accomplished, for the gods, a highly difficult feat and hast propitiated thy own people with riches and other objects of pleasure acquired by thy own power" (1-6).

हिन्दी अर्थ

Having saluted first Rohini Rama and Krishna afterwards saluted Devaki. As Aditi, the mother of gods, looks beautiful in the company of Mitra and Varuna so the goddess shone in the company of her two lotus-eyed-sons (7–10).

Up to this time she was being adored in the Vrishni family and was being brought up and maintained like a daughter. She, whom the people of the world know as the irrepressible Yoga maiden, and as one and without any parts, was born for the protection of Keshava. Because she protected Keshava with her goddess-like celestial body the Yadavas used to worship her with great pleasure. As soon as she entered the Hall, Mādhava approached her, like unto a man his beloved female friend and held her by the hand. The highly powerful Rāma too held her by his right hand, embraced her and smelt her head. The Vrishni women then saw her between her two brothers Rāma and Krishna like unto the goddess Sree, with golden lotuses in her hands and seated on a lotus too. They then showered fried paddy and diverse flowers and repaired to their respective quarters (11-19).

"Having oppressed the Yadavas and put in chains his father Ahuka, the wicked son of Ugrasena, Kansa secured for himself the kingdom. Seeking refuge with his father-in-law Jarāsandha, that wicked-minded wretch, the curse of his family, used to hate the other Bhojas, Vrishnis and Andhakas. In order to accomplish a good work for his kinsmen and protect Ugrasena the powerful Vasudeva preserved his own son (26–28). You have all heard of the highly wondrous deeds which the slayer of Madhu performed before Shurasena and others while living with the milkmen in the suburb of Mathurā. One day while Janārddana was sporting under a cart, the highly powerful, dreadful, grim-visaged She-demon Putanā, under the guise of a bird, wished to make him suck her poisoned breast. He however killed her. Beholding however the dreadful, grim-visaged daughter of Bali, Putanā slain, the forest-ranging Gopas regarded him as one born again and gave him the name of _Adhokhshaja_. The Purusottama, in his infancy, performed another wonderful feat. While playing he upset a cart with his feet. He injured some of the boys for which Yashodā tied him to a wooden mortar. He, in that condition, uprooted two Arjuna trees for which he obtained the name of Dāmodara. The highly powerful and irrepressible Kālya Nāga was vanquished by him in the lake of Yamunā while sporting. Adored by the Nāgas in their house in the presence of Akrura the Lord assumed a celestial body. Observing the cows assailed by cold and wind, the high-souled and intelligent son of Vasudeva, Krishna, although a child, held up, for saving them, the mount Govardhana for seven nights (29–38). The wicked, highly powerful, huge-bodied great Asura Aristha, the destroyer of men, has been killed by Vāsudeva. When Sunamā came with his army to arrest him he assailed him through wolves. For protecting the cows, the highly powerful, huge-bodied Dānava Dhenuka has been slain by Keshava. Ranging in the forest with Rohini's son under the guise of a milkman he created terror in Kansa. While living in Vraja, Purusottaina Shouri killed the powerful horse of the Bhoja king Kansa that had his teeth for it's weapon and was a great help to him (39–43). Kansa's courtier the highly powerful Dānava Pralamva, was killed by Rohini's son with one stroke of his fist. These two highly powerful sons of Vasudeva, resembling celestial youths, were initiated at that time by the Brāhmana Gārgya. The great saint knew who they really are and so they have been tutored by him from their very birth

"Thereupon those two highly powerful, foremost of men, like unto two infuriated young lions living on the Himalaya, attaining to youth, pilfered the hearts of milk-women. While those two heroic and effulgent sons of the milk-man Nanda used to move about in the pasture land the other boys, what to speak of equalling them in sport and strength, could not even look at them. Hearing of those two large-armed brothers, of firm shoulders, Bala and Keshava grow up like a Shāla tree Kansa was pained and consulted with his ministers. And when he could not arrest them by any means he oppressed Vasudeva with all his kinsmen. Fettered like a felon along with Ugrasena Anakadundubhi began to spend his days in great misery.

"After few days had passed in this way, the king Kansa, undertook a great festival in Mathura in honor of the trident-handed deity. In that festival, O king, wrestlers, songsters and clever dancers had assembled there from various countries. In that festival, the highly powerful Kansa had built there a rich arena, by clever and well-trained artizans. Thousands of seats were occupied by citizens and villagers as the sky is crested with luminous bodies (54–57). As the performer of pious deeds ascends the celestial chariot so the Bhoja king Kansa ascended the well-decorated platform of the arena. At the entrance of that arena the powerful Kansa had kept a mad elephant ridden by heroes and covered with weapons. Thinking of Rāma and Krishna the highly powerful Kansa had no sleep even in the night previous, and hearing now of the arrival of those two foremost of men, like unto the sun and moon he became more careful for protecting himself (58–60). Hearing of that most excellent arena those two foremost of men, the heroic Rama and Krishna, the slayers of their enemies, attempted to enter there as a tiger goes to the pasture of cows. And although prevented by the warders they entered there after killing the elephant Kuvalayāpida. Having entered that arena the irrepressible Bala and Krishna first powdered Chanura and Andhra and then killed the wicked son of Ugrasena with his younger brother (61–64). Who else but Yadu's descendant could accomplish such a feat which even the gods could not do (65)? Keshava has brought for you all these riches which Pralhāda, Bali and even Shamvara could not obtain before. He has killed the Daityas Muru and Pānchajana. And coming out of his mountainous fastness Nisunda has been slain with all his kinsmen (66–67). Having killed Bhumi's son Naraka and brought back the beautiful pair of Aditi's ear-rings Keshava attained to great fame from the celestials in their region (68). O ye Yadavas, depending upon the strength of Krishna's arms and shorn of pride, fear, sorrow and other impediments do you celebrate various sacrifices. A great work of the gods has been performed by the intelligent Krishna. May you fare-well. I have come here to communicate to you this glad tidings, O ye chiefs, Vāsava has said that he would with great care procure what ever you would like to have. He is yours and you are his. Know it for certain, that the foremost of gods, the chastiser of Pāka has despatched me here to inform Krishna that the gods have been highly pleased. There lives advancement where reign the goddesses of prosperity and modesty. In the high-souled Vāsudeva all the three exist (69–73)".

Having vanquished easily the highly powerful Rukshmi well protected by the Decean car-warriors resembling clouds, the foremost of Vrishnis Keshava carried away Rukshmini (1–3). Afterwards Hari, the holder of conch-shell, discus and club, brought Bhoja's daughter into his house in a car effulgent like the sun and producing a rattle like unto the muttering of clouds and married her.

When Venudāri trampled over the entire earth with his horses, cars and elephants Purusottama defeated him with great care (20). Acquiring, by his ascetic penances, energy, strength and power in his pristine dwarfish form Mādhava stole away from Bali the three worlds. Even when he was attacked in the city of Prāgyotish by the Dānavas with thunderbolts, clubs and swords Death could not near him (20-22).

Having slain Bhumi's son Naraka he has brought the pair of ear-rings and given them to the mother of gods for pleasing the holder of thunder-bolt (28–29). The highly illustrious Lord Vishnu, the master of all the worlds, is a terror to the Daityas and declares fearlessness to the celestials (30). Having established virtue amongst the mortals by performing various sacrifices and accomplished the great work of the gods he will return to his own region. Then the highly illustrious Krishna will make the ocean devour the cities Bhogavati, a favourite resort of the Rishis, and Dwārakā (31–33). This city of Dwārakā, filled with various jewels and sacrificial grounds, will enter, with its gardens, into the abode (sea) of Varuna (33).

योगवेत्ता पुरुष प्राणियोंको योगादि कर्मका फल (सुख) वितरण करता है, इसमें संदेह नहीं है। वह धर्मका पोषण करके जगत्की रक्षाके लिये ही ऐसा करता है (तात्पर्य यह है कि उस ब्रह्मीभूत योगीकी प्रीतिके लिये ही धर्म किया जाता है और वही प्रसन्न होकर जगत्की रक्षा करता है) ॥ ३३॥ बारह हजार दिव्य वर्षोका एक चतुर्युग होता है। सहस्न चतुर्युगका जो समय है, इसीका नाम ब्रह्मययुग है, जो युगोंमें प्रधान युग (कल्प) कहा गया है॥ ३४॥ एक सहस्रयुगके अन्तमें ब्रह्माके दिनकी समाप्ति होती है, जिसमें संहार (कल्पका अन्त) होता है और दूसरे सहसख्रयुगके अन्तमें उनकी रात्रिका अवसान होता है, जो प्रलयका अन्त अर्थात् कल्पका आरम्भ करनेवाला है। संहारकालमें लोकोंका स्वरूप सूक्ष्म, निर्विकार एवं अचेतन होता है॥ ३५॥ कारणभूत सत्त्वादि गुणोंसे निर्मित हुआ यह जगत् प्रलयको प्राप्त होनेपर सृक्ष्मरूप होकर ब्रह्ममें स्थित हो जाता है इति श्रीमहाभारते खिलभागे हरिवंशे भविष्यपर्वणि पौष्करे अष्टादशोउध्याय:

Narada said:—Moreover, the nooses made by Mura have been cut, Nisumva and Naraka have been slain and the road to the city of Pragyotish has been freed from all dangers. Even the proud kings of the world have been frightened in battle by this descendant of Shura (Krishna) with the twang of his bow and the sound of his conch-shell Panchajanya. Having vanquished easily the highly powerful Rukshmi well protected by the Decean car-warriors resembling clouds, the foremost of Vrishnis Keshava carried away Rukshmini (1–3). Afterwards Hari, the holder of conch-shell, discus and club, brought Bhoja's daughter into his house in a car effulgent like the sun and producing a rattle like unto the muttering of clouds and married her. In the city of Jāruthi he defeated Ahdriti, Kratha and Shishupala and vanquished Dantavakra and Shatadhanwā with all their soldiers. Worked up with anger the beautiful lord of Shoubha killed Shālwa, grasping firmly a bow, the Yavana Indradyumna and Kasherunām. Having scattered thousands of mountains the lotus-eyed Purusottama struck Dyumutsena with his discus. In the city of Irāvati on the summit of the mount Mahendra there lived two followers of Rāvana Gopati and Tālaketu, who could disappear form view within the twinkling of an eye and were effulgent like sun and fire. The foremost of men, Keshava, the holder of Srānga bow, killed them both, within the twinkling of an eye, the Dānavas Hansa and Dimvaka have been also slain by Krishna with their followers. Vārānashi (Benares) has been burnt down by the high souled Keshava and the king with his followers has been slain (4-11). Having killed Maya in battle with knotty arrows Krishna, of wonderful deeds, has released the son of Indrasena (12). The highly powerful Varuna, with all the acquatic animals, has been defeated in battle by Krishna repairing to Lohitakuta (under water) (13). Having gone to Indra's palace, he, although prevented by the highly powerful celestials, disregarding their king, carried away the Pārijāta tree (14). The intelligent Janārddana has slain the kings of Pandya, Poundrya, Kalinga, Matsa and Banga (15). Having killed hundreds of highly powerful kings he married his beautiful queen Gāndhāri. But the Lord Madhusudana has crowned the foremost of Bharatas, Arjuna, the holder of Gāndiva bow who used to play before Kunti, with success (16–17). This foremost of men has defeated, in battle, Drona, Drauni, Karna, Bhishma, Suyodhana and other warriors. For pleasing Vabhru the powerful Hari, the holder of conch-shell, discus and club, carried away by force the daughter of the king of Suveera (18-19). When Venudāri trampled over the entire earth with his horses, cars and elephants Purusottama defeated him with great care (20). Acquiring, by his ascetic penances, energy, strength and power in his pristine dwarfish form Mādhava stole away from Bali the three worlds. Even when he was attacked in the city of Prāgyotish by the Dānavas with thunderbolts, clubs and swords Death could not near him (20-22). Bali's son, the highly powerful, energetic and rich Bāna has been defeated by Krishna with all his followers. The highly powerful Janārddana has killed Peetha, Paithika and Asitomā the courtiers of the long-armed Kansa (23–24). The highly illustrious Mādhava, the foremost of men, has killed the Daityas Jambha, Airāvata and Virupa, assuming the semblance of a man (25). Having defeated in water the highly powerful Nāga king Kālya, the lotus-eyed (Krishna) has despatched him to the sea (26). Having vanquished Vivaswān's son Yama, Hari, the foremost of men, has restored to life the dead son of Sāndipani (27). O Emperor Janamejaya, in this way, this high-souled one chastises those wicked souls who injure the Brāhmanas and the gods. Having slain Bhumi's son Naraka he has brought the pair of ear-rings and given them to the mother of gods for pleasing the holder of thunder-bolt (28–29). The highly illustrious Lord Vishnu, the master of all the worlds, is a terror to the Daityas and declares fearlessness to the celestials (30). Having established virtue amongst the mortals by performing various sacrifices and accomplished the great work of the gods he will return to his own region. Then the highly illustrious Krishna will make the ocean devour the cities Bhogavati, a favourite resort of the Rishis, and Dwārakā (31–33). This city of Dwārakā, filled with various jewels and sacrificial grounds, will enter, with its gardens, into the abode (sea) of Varuna (33). The ocean, conversant with the desire of Krishna, the holder of Shrānga bow, will inundate this city of Dwārakā constructed by Vāsudeva and resembling the residence of the sun. There is none amongst the gods, Asuras, and men and none will be, except the slayer of Madhu, who will be able to live

Vārānashi (Benares) has been burnt down by the high souled Keshava and the king with his followers has been slain (4-11). Having killed Maya in battle with knotty arrows Krishna, of wonderful deeds, has released the son of Indrasena (12). The highly powerful Varuna, with all the acquatic animals, has been defeated in battle by Krishna repairing to Lohitakuta (under water) (13). Having gone to Indra's palace, he, although prevented by the highly powerful celestials, disregarding their king, carried away the Pārijāta tree (14). The intelligent Janārddana has slain the kings of Pandya, Poundrya, Kalinga, Matsa and Banga (15). Having killed hundreds of highly powerful kings he married his beautiful queen Gāndhāri. But the Lord Madhusudana has crowned the foremost of Bharatas, Arjuna, the holder of Gāndiva bow who used to play before Kunti, with success (16–17). This foremost of men has defeated, in battle, Drona, Drauni, Karna, Bhishma, Suyodhana and other warriors. For pleasing Vabhru the powerful Hari, the holder of conch-shell, discus and club, carried away by force the daughter of the king of Suveera (18-19). When Venudāri trampled over the entire earth with his horses, cars and elephants Purusottama defeated him with great care (20). Acquiring, by his ascetic penances, energy, strength and power in his pristine dwarfish form Mādhava stole away from Bali the three worlds. Even when he was attacked in the city of Prāgyotish by the Dānavas with thunderbolts, clubs and swords Death could not near him (20-22). Bali's son, the highly powerful, energetic and rich Bāna has been defeated by Krishna with all his followers. The highly powerful Janārddana has killed Peetha, Paithika and Asitomā the courtiers of the long-armed Kansa (23–24). The highly illustrious Mādhava, the foremost of men, has killed the Daityas Jambha, Airāvata and Virupa, assuming the semblance of a man (25). Having defeated in water the highly powerful Nāga king Kālya, the lotus-eyed (Krishna) has despatched him to the sea (26). Having vanquished Vivaswān's son Yama, Hari, the foremost of men, has restored to life the dead son of Sāndipani (27). O Emperor Janamejaya, in this way, this high-souled one chastises those wicked souls who injure the Brāhmanas and the gods. Having slain Bhumi's son Naraka he has brought the pair of ear-rings and given them to the mother of gods for pleasing the holder of thunder-bolt (28–29). The highly illustrious Lord Vishnu, the master of all the worlds, is a terror to the Daityas and declares fearlessness to the celestials (30). Having established virtue amongst the mortals by performing various sacrifices and accomplished the great work of the gods he will return to his own region. Then the highly illustrious Krishna will make the ocean devour the cities Bhogavati, a favourite resort of the Rishis, and Dwārakā (31–33). This city of Dwārakā, filled with various jewels and sacrificial grounds, will enter, with its gardens, into the abode (sea) of Varuna (33). The ocean, conversant with the desire of Krishna, the holder of Shrānga bow, will inundate this city of Dwārakā constructed by Vāsudeva and resembling the residence of the sun. There is none amongst the gods, Asuras, and men and none will be, except the slayer of Madhu, who will be able to live

Even the proud kings of the world have been frightened in battle by this descendant of Shura (Krishna) with the twang of his bow and the sound of his conch-shell Panchajanya. Having vanquished easily the highly powerful Rukshmi well protected by the Decean car-warriors resembling clouds, the foremost of Vrishnis Keshava carried away Rukshmini (1–3). Afterwards Hari, the holder of conch-shell, discus and club, brought Bhoja's daughter into his house in a car effulgent like the sun and producing a rattle like unto the muttering of clouds and married her. In the city of Jāruthi he defeated Ahdriti, Kratha and Shishupala and vanquished Dantavakra and Shatadhanwā with all their soldiers. Worked up with anger the beautiful lord of Shoubha killed Shālwa, grasping firmly a bow, the Yavana Indradyumna and Kasherunām. Having scattered thousands of mountains the lotus-eyed Purusottama struck Dyumutsena with his discus. In the city of Irāvati on the summit of the mount Mahendra there lived two followers of Rāvana Gopati and Tālaketu, who could disappear form view within the twinkling of an eye and were effulgent like sun and fire. The foremost of men, Keshava, the holder of Srānga bow, killed them both, within the twinkling of an eye, the Dānavas Hansa and Dimvaka have been also slain by Krishna with their followers. Vārānashi (Benares) has been burnt down by the high souled Keshava and the king with his followers has been slain (4-11). Having killed Maya in battle with knotty arrows Krishna, of wonderful deeds, has released the son of Indrasena (12). The highly powerful Varuna, with all the acquatic animals, has been defeated in battle by Krishna repairing to Lohitakuta (under water) (13). Having gone to Indra's palace, he, although prevented by the highly powerful celestials, disregarding their king, carried away the Pārijāta tree (14). The intelligent Janārddana has slain the kings of Pandya, Poundrya, Kalinga, Matsa and Banga (15). Having killed hundreds of highly powerful kings he married his beautiful queen Gāndhāri. But the Lord Madhusudana has crowned the foremost of Bharatas, Arjuna, the holder of Gāndiva bow who used to play before Kunti, with success (16–17). This foremost of men has defeated, in battle, Drona, Drauni, Karna, Bhishma, Suyodhana and other warriors. For pleasing Vabhru the powerful Hari, the holder of conch-shell, discus and club, carried away by force the daughter of the king of Suveera (18-19). When Venudāri trampled over the entire earth with his horses, cars and elephants Purusottama defeated him with great care (20). Acquiring, by his ascetic penances, energy, strength and power in his pristine dwarfish form Mādhava stole away from Bali the three worlds. Even when he was attacked in the city of Prāgyotish by the Dānavas with thunderbolts, clubs and swords Death could not near him (20-22). Bali's son, the highly powerful, energetic and rich Bāna has been defeated by Krishna with all his followers. The highly powerful Janārddana has killed Peetha, Paithika and Asitomā the courtiers of the long-armed Kansa (23–24). The highly illustrious Mādhava, the foremost of men, has killed the Daityas Jambha, Airāvata and Virupa, assuming the semblance of a man (25). Having defeated in water the highly powerful Nāga king Kālya, the lotus-eyed (Krishna) has despatched him to the sea (26). Having vanquished Vivaswān's son Yama, Hari, the foremost of men, has restored to life the dead son of Sāndipani (27). O Emperor Janamejaya, in this way, this high-souled one chastises those wicked souls who injure the Brāhmanas and the gods. Having slain Bhumi's son Naraka he has brought the pair of ear-rings and given them to the mother of gods for pleasing the holder of thunder-bolt (28–29). The highly illustrious Lord Vishnu, the master of all the worlds, is a terror to the Daityas and declares fearlessness to the celestials (30). Having established virtue amongst the mortals by performing various sacrifices and accomplished the great work of the gods he will return to his own region. Then the highly illustrious Krishna will make the ocean devour the cities Bhogavati, a favourite resort of the Rishis, and Dwārakā (31–33). This city of Dwārakā, filled with various jewels and sacrificial grounds, will enter, with its gardens, into the abode (sea) of Varuna (33). The ocean, conversant with the desire of Krishna, the holder of Shrānga bow, will inundate this city of Dwārakā constructed by Vāsudeva and resembling the residence of the sun. There is none amongst the gods, Asuras, and men and none will be, except the slayer of Madhu, who will be able to live
