Soot said: Approaching the Anartas, he blew the conch to pacify their sorrow.

He, with a white belly, high in the sky, the one who is the essence of the mighty Urukrama, resounding like a swan in a lotus pond.

Hearing that sound, which is fearsome to the world, all the beings, eager to see their Lord, responded.

There, having been brought forth, like the sun's light, the self-satisfied and fully fulfilled one, is always attained through one's own gains.

With joyful faces, they spoke with voices choked with emotion, addressing their father, the friend of all, the protector of the devotees.

We bow to you, O Lord, who is worshipped by Brahma and the other gods, and who is the ultimate refuge for those seeking peace, where time does not affect the Supreme Lord.

O Lord, you are the creator of the universe, our mother, friend, and father. You are our true guru and the supreme deity, by whose guidance the virtuous have flourished.

O Lord, we are fortunate to see your form, which is the embodiment of all auspiciousness, even from a distance, through your loving and affectionate glance.

When the lotus-eyed Lord descended to the Kurus, desiring to see his friends, even a moment there would be like a million years for us, as if we were deprived of your sight.

Thus addressed by the affectionate Lord of the devotees, who was listening and bestowing grace with his glance, he entered the city.

With the strength equal to that of the self, the Madhu and Bhoja clans, the Dasharhas, the Andhakas, and the Vrishnis concealed the city like the celestial abode.

With all seasons, all opulence, and the sacred trees and vines of virtue, adorned with gardens and parks, may the lotus-like wealth flourish.

At the gateways of the cowherd's abode, adorned with curious arches, the inner space is filled with colorful flags and banners.

The grand road is cleaned, adorned with the essence of fragrant water, and filled with sprouting fruits and flowers.

At every door of the houses, the fruits are offered, adorned with full pots and accompanied by incense and lamps.

Hearing that his beloved was coming, Vasudeva, with a great mind, and Akrura, along with the mighty Gresena, and the wonderful Rama, were filled with joy.

Pradyumna, the beautiful son of Rukmini, and Samba, the son of Jambavati, are filled with joy, ready for rest, seating, and meals.

With the elephant king honored by the Brahmanas, auspiciously, and with the sound of conch and drums, they joyfully arrived in chariots, filled with affection.

The main faces of the elephants, adorned with shining earrings, were eager to see the spectacle.

The dancers and celestial musicians, along with the Sootas and Magadhas, sang wonderful tales of the supreme glories.

The Lord, there, honored the relatives and the townspeople, by appropriately engaging with everyone and bestowing respect.

With humble greetings, affectionate embraces, and smiling glances, the Lord comforted the devotees with desired boons.

The city is filled with the blessings of the wise, the aged, and the learned, who are always honored by others.

As Krishna traveled the royal road, the noble women of Dwaraka, adorned in their palaces, eagerly awaited the grand festival.

Those who constantly gaze upon the abode of the imperishable, do not tire of the sight of the divine, which is the source of all prosperity.

Whose chest is the abode of prosperity, whose face is the vessel of nectar for the eyes, and whose arms are the lotus feet of the guardians of the world.

Adorned with white lotus leaves and showered with flowers, he appeared on the path like a dense cloud illuminated by lightning.

Entering the house of his parents, embraced by his own mothers, he bowed down with joy to the seven deities, headed by Devaki.

They placed the child on the lap, their breasts overflowing with affection, and joyfully sprinkled him with water from their eyes.

Then he entered his own abode, the supreme place of all desires, where there were thousands of palaces and sixteen queens.

Seeing her husband return home, the wives, filled with joy, arose from their seats, eager to welcome him with bashful eyes.

The sons, with their eyes fixed on him, overwhelmed by intense emotions, surrounded their father, who was restrained by the flood of tears from their eyes, feeling shy.

Although he is hidden and situated nearby, his feet are ever fresh. Who can refrain from his feet, which never abandon the one who possesses beauty?

Thus, the kings of the earth, surrounded by the might of their armies, are like fire that, with enmity, extinguishes itself through mutual destruction.

In this human world, he, having descended by his own power, enjoyed like a natural man, surrounded by the gems of women.

The one who is overwhelmed by the intoxicating beauty of the beloved, even the god of love, cannot overcome the senses of that one who is captivated by her.

The world considers him to be unattached, yet he is the one who engages with the world, like a person who is wise.

Even though situated in nature, he is not influenced by its qualities, just as the intellect is not affected by the qualities it depends on.

The weak and foolish women, who are devoted to their husbands, think of him as their lord, just as those who lack knowledge do.
