Uddhava said: Then he, accompanied by Baladeva, arrived at the city, intending to fulfill his father's wishes, and he cast down the lord of the mountain, who was struck down.

Having studied the Brahman thoroughly, he granted him the boon of a son, born from the womb of Panchajana.

Summoned by Bhishmaka's daughter, they who desire wealth, with golden hue, were met by the divine bird Garuda, who took his rightful place on their heads.

Kakudmato, having defeated the demon, took the Nagna Jiti as his bride at the svayamvara. Even though he was broken-hearted, he killed the ignorant ones with his own weapons.

The beloved Lord, like a beloved in the village, desired to worship the radiant tree for the sake of his beloved. The angered deer, resembling a diamond, surely hunted the maidens.

Seeing his son being devoured by the earth, Sunabha, agitated, entered the inner chambers after giving away the remaining son.

There, the daughters of the king, upon seeing Hari, the relative of Martabandhu, immediately rose and embraced him with joyful, bashful, and affectionate glances.

In a moment, he took hold of the maidens in the city, according to his own will.

From those daughters, he generated sons equal to himself in every respect, each with ten qualities.

The time, along with the armies of the Magadhas and Shalvas, surrounded the city.

He killed Shambara, Dvivida, Bana, Mura, and Balvalaka, and also defeated others like Dantavaktra.

Then, the earth trembled, as the sons of the brothers fell on both sides of the battlefield.

Having been struck by the evil counsel of Shakuni, the noble Yudhishthira, along with his followers, did not rejoice upon seeing Duryodhana lying on the ground, his thighs broken.

How heavy is this burden of the earth, which is crushed by the roots of Drona, Bhishma, Arjuna, and Bhima? The eighteen Akshauhinis of the Yadavas are a force that is difficult to withstand.

When there arises a dispute among them, who are sweet-tongued and red-eyed, there is no other means of killing them than me, who is engaged in battle.

Thus contemplating, the Lord established Dharma in His own kingdom, making the righteous happy by showing them the path.

In the north, the lineage of Dhritarashtra was upheld by the valiant Bhimasena. He was supported by the Lord, having been cut down by the son of Drupada.

The Supreme Lord, who is the son of Dharma, performed the Ashwamedha sacrifice with three horses. He, too, enjoyed the earth, protected by his followers, remaining devoted to Krishna.

The Lord, who is the soul of the universe and follows the paths of the worlds and the Vedas, unattached, served desires while being established in Sankhya.

With a gentle smile and sweet words like nectar, he delighted in the character of the flawless Sri Niketan with his own self.

Delighting in this world and the next, he especially enjoyed the Yadus, being compassionate and friendly at every moment.

Thus, while he enjoyed many years, a sense of detachment arose in the rituals and practices of household life.

Under the influence of fate, who can trust in desires? The man who is devoted to yoga and the Lord of yoga.

Once in a city, when the boys were playing, the sages became angry and cursed them, being knowledgeable in the ways of the Lord.

Then, after a few months, the Vrishnis, Bhojas, and Andhakas, delighted, went to Prabhasa with chariots, enchanted by the gods.

There, after bathing, they satisfied their fathers, the gods, and the sages with that water, and gave many cows to the Brahmins.

Gold, silver, beds, garments, and blankets, and vehicles like chariots, even the earth, are all for the maiden of livelihood.

Having given food to the hungry, they offered it to the Lord. The brave ones, desiring the cows, bowed their heads to the earth.
