(16) With the
demon Arishtha being killed by the Worker of Miracles,
Krishna, spoke then to Kamsa the powerful sage
Nârada who had the vision of
God:

Kes'i
and Vyoma Killed and Nârada Eulogizes Krishna's
Future.
(3) When he hard to
conquer and approach, agressive with a mouth wide open
swallowing the sky, saw Him before him, rushed he
furiously forward to attack the Lotus-eyed Lord with his
legs.
(28) A
son of the demon Maya named Vyoma ['the sky'], a
powerful magician, assuming the disguise of a gopa,
played for one of the many thieves and took away almost
all those who acted as the sheep.

Akrûra's
Musing and Reception in
Gokula
(25) The prints of His
feet, of which the rulers of all worlds hold the pure
dust on their crowns, saw he in the earth of the pasture:
a wonderful decoration distinguished by the lotus, the
barleycorn, the elephant goad and so on [see also
10.16: 18 and 10.30: 25*].
(28-33) In Vraja he saw
Krishna and Râma, who with their eyes like autumnal
lotuses were going to where the cows were milked, wearing
yellow and blue clothes. The two shelters to the goddess
were bluish-dark and fair skinned youngsters most
beautiful to behold with mighty arms, attractive faces
and a gait like that of an elephant. With their feet
marked by the flag, bolt, goad and lotus did the great
souls compassionate in their smiles and glances beautify
the cow pasture. They whose pastimes were so magnanimous
and attractive were freshly bathed and wore jeweled
necklaces, flower garlands, had their limbs anointed with
auspicious fragrant substances and were spotless in their
apparel. The two primeval, most excellent persons, that
are Cause and Lord to the universe [see also 5:
25] had for the welfare of that universe descended in
their distinct forms of Balarâma and Kes'ava. O
King with their effulgence dispelled they, as a mountain
of emerald and a mountain of silver both decorated with
gold, in all directions the darkness.

Krishna
and Balarâma Leave for Mathurâ
(15) Met anderen,
gefixeerd in meditatie op Hem, hielden, net als bij hen
die het bereik van de zelfrealisatie hebben betreden, al
de zintuigelijke functies er mee op zonder nog een flauw
benul van de wereld te hebben.
