(44)
Will that descendant of Das'ârha come here to
bring, perhaps with His touch, back to life us
tormented with the sorrow He Himself gave rise to,
like Indra would to [replenish] a forest with
his clouds?
(59) Where is one
compared to these women who, impure in their conduct
towards Krishna, wander in the forests; where is one
compared to this stage of perfect love for the Supreme
Soul? - certainly is the Controller to the one who is
of constant worship, even though not being learned,
directly bestowing the highest good, that imbibed
works like the very best of all medicines [that
is: irrespective of the person].

48:
Krishna
Pleases His Devotees
(5) She by bathing,
anointing, dressing up with ornaments, garlands and
perfume, bethel nut and drinking fragrant fluids and
so on, prepared her body and then shy and with playful
smiles approached Mâdhava with tempting
glances.
(22) Because You are
not determined by the coverings of the body and so on
is there no literal birth or duality to Your Self and
therefore exists there no bondage for You, nor in fact
any liberation [compare 10.14: 26]; and if
they show is that to Your sweet will [see e.g.
10-11: 7] so or either of our erroneous notions
about You [like in 10.23: 10-11].
Chapter
49:
Akrûra's
Mission in Hastinâpura
(1-2) S'rî
S'uka said: 'He [Akrûra] going to
Hastinâpura, the city standing out with the
glory of the kings of the Puru-dynasty [see
family-tree], saw there the son of Ambikâ
[Dhritarâshthra, see 9.22: 23] together
with Bhîshma, Vidura and Prithâ
[Kuntî], as also Bâhlika and his
son [Somadatta], Dronâcârya and
Kripâcârya, Karna, Duryodhana, the son of
Drona [As'vatthâmâ], the
Pândavas and other friends.
(28) What way would
there ever be for a person to escape from what is
ordained by the Controller, who to diminish the burden
of the earth has descended in the Yadu-family?
[see B.G. 9: 8]
Chapter
50:
Krishna
Uses Jarâsandha and Establishes the City of
Dvârakâ
(35-36) Mukunda with
His forces unbroken having crossed the ocean of the
armies of His enemy, was showered with flowers by the
servants of the three worlds in praise. Being met by
the people of Mathurâ, who with their fever
allayed felt great joy, was His glory sung by bards,
heralds and panegyrists.
Chapter
51:
The
Deliverance of Mucukunda
(12) O descendant of
Bharata he as such, was by the glance, the angered man
cast on him, in a moment burnt to ashes by a fire that
generated from within his own body [*].'
