HUS chanted bý* the king of the celestials, Kesava smiled and replied gravely saying: — "Thou art, Indra, the king of the celestials : we are mere mortals, king of the universe : thou must therefore forgive me, for the offence 1 have committed. Let this Párijáta tree be taken to its proper place. I remove it to satisfy Satya's desire. Take ,back also this thy thunderbolt which thou didst hurl at me ; for this is your proper weapon — slayer of thy enemies." Whereto Indra replied, saying : — "0 lord, thou dost beguile us in calling thyself mortal. We are endowed with subtlety of discernment and therefore know thee as gifted with six qualities. Whoever thou mayst be, slayer of thine enemies, thou art engaged in the active preservation of earth and thou removest the thorns implanted in her bossom. Krishna, do thou take this Párijáta tree to the city of Dwáraka and when thou shalt renounce this land of mortals it shall no longer remain on earth."
