Krishna Kicks the Cart, Defeats Trināvarta and Shows Yas'odā the
Universe

(8) All the ladies and men of Vraja with Yas'odā and Nanda first
who had assembled for the utthāna-ceremony, witnessing that wondrous
event marveled on how the cart by itself indeed could have been
damaged so badly

(20) A daitya named Trināvarta, an hireling set up by Kamsa,
swept in the form of a whirlwind away the little one sitting there.


(30) Totally surprised to find Krishna in good health sitting on
the chest of the man-eater who had taken Him away in the sky, picked
they Him who was saved from the mouth of death up and delivered they,
as Nanda's gopīs and gopas overjoyed rejoicing in bliss on the
retrieval, Him to His mother.

The Name Ceremony, His Pranks and Again the Universe Within His
Mouth

(11) S'rī S'uka said: 'With this urgent request performed the man
of learning for the two boys in secret seclusion the name-giving
ceremony for which he had come.

(30) Hung out of reach He devises a way piling up things or
turning over a mortar and knows He His way to the contents making a
hole in the hanging pot. He knows His way around in a dark room with
enough light to see from the shining jewels on His body and awaits
the time the gopīs are busy with their household affairs!

(40) 'Is this all a dream, a divine phantasmagoria or maybe a
delusion of my own intelligence or would otherwise that what I so see
be some yogic feat natural to my child?


Mother Yas'odā Binds Lord Krishna

(10) Though the chasing mother, in her great speed with flowers
fallen from her hair, heavy-breasted to her thin waist had to slow it
down, managed she finally to capture Him.

(19) My best, in this was factually by the Lord exhibited how He,
Krishna, by whom indeed the whole universe with all its demigods is
controlled, is won over by those [devotees] who fall within the
control of His own self

The Deliverance of the Sons of Kuvera

(6) Seeing him were their adherents ashamed and covered they
afraid of being cursed quickly with their garments the nakedness of
their bodies, but they, the two trustees [Shiva-guhyakas] , also
being naked didn't.

(28) Right there then came out of the two trees resplendently
beautiful, illuminating all directions, two persons like fire
personified who offered Krishna with folded hands, head down, their
obeisances while they before the Lord of the Whole World completely
purified uttered the following:

A New Residence, the Fruitvendor and Vatsāsura and Bakāsura
Defeated

(11) What He had to offer had fallen from the palms of His
hands, but the fruitlady filled them [nevertheless] with fruits. In
exchange was the entire basket of fruits filled with gold and jewels.

(39-40) Sometimes blowing their flutes, sometimes with a sling
hurling [for the fruits], sometimes moving their feet for the
tinkling [of their ankle bells], sometimes playing cow and bull,
roaring loudly imitating the animals fighting with one another and
sometimes mimicking the cries of the animals, they wandered around
like two normal children.

(51) He with Bakāsura trying again caught that friend of Kamsa
with His arms by the beak which He as the Master of the Truthful in
service of the denizens of heaven, with the boys watching, as easily
tore apart as one splits a blade of grass.

The Killing of the Demon Aghāsura

(3) Krishna along with the countless calves He had
assembled of His own, then, here and there [in the forest], enjoyed
engaging in their boyish games.

(12) Not even for many lives being of penance do yogis apt in
self-control achieve the dust of His lotusfeet; how fortunate then
are the inhabitants of Vraja to whom He indeed personally being
present had become the object of their direct vision?

(27) Krishna, the source of fearlessness for each, seeing them
was amazed and compassionately felt sorry the way things were turning
out as they, who had no one but Him, now helplessly had ran out of
His control and were as straws in the fire of the belly of Aghāsura,
that death personified.

Krishna Defies Indra in Favor of the Brahmins, the Cows and
Govardhana Hill

(12) S'rī S'uka said: 'Hearing Nanda's words and also what
the other residents of Vraja said, spoke Lord Kes'ava to his father
in a way that made lord Indra angry.

Lord Krishna Lifts Govardhana Hill *

(19) Thus having spoken took He, Vishnu, with one hand [His left
one] Govardhana hill and held it up as easy as a child does a
mushroom.


Nanda Recapitulates the words of Garga before the Puzzled Gopas

(2) 'Considering the no doubt extraordinary activities of the
boy, how could He deserve a, for Himself contemptible, birth among
worldly men?

(24) Thus hearing the words of Nanda about what Garga had
said worshiped the residents of Vraja, enlivened by Nanda and with
their perplexity gone, Lord Krishna.

Lord Indra and Mother Surabhi Offer Prayers

(22-23) S'rī S'uka said: 'Thus pleading was Lord Krishna by
Surabhi with her own milk and the Ganges water flowing from heaven
carried by Airāvata's trunk, by Indra in the company of the
enlightened and the seers and by the inspired mothers of the gods
[the daughters of Aditi], bathed and was the descendent of Das'ara
named Lord Govinda.

Chapter 28: Krishna Rescues Nanda Mahārāja from the Abode of
Varuna

(8) Even to me o Krishna, o You who sees everything, please, be
of mercy, o Govinda; to You, so caring for Your parents, belongs
definitely this one that is Your father.'

The Rasa Play: Krishna Meets and Escapes the Gopīs at Night

(3) Seeing how the kumuda lotuses opened to his full round face
that, like the face with fresh kunkuma of the goddess of fortune,
with its light reddened the forest, played He, colored by the gentle
rays of that light, his flute sweetly enchanting the eyes of charm
[of the gopīs].

(41) You, just as the Godhead, the Original Personality,
protecting all gods and worlds, have taken birth as the Godhead, the
evident remover of the fear and distress of the people of Vraja,
therefore kindly place, o Friend of the Distressed, Your lotuslike
hand on the burning breasts and heads of Your maidservants. '
