Chapter 46 - 47 - 48 - 49 - 50 - 51



Chapter 46: Uddhava Spends the Night in Gokula Talking with Nanda

(4) They absorbed in Me, with their minds fixed on Me, made Me the purpose of their lives abandoning everything physical [of husband, home and children, see 10.29.4]. Understanding those who for My sake left behind this world and its moral obligations, I sustain them who have Me alone as their beloved and dearmost Self.


Chapter 47: The Gopî Reveals Her Emotions: The Song of the Bee

(1-2) S'rî S'uka said: 'When the women of Vraja saw him, the servant of Krishna, with his long arms, being so young, with his lotuseyes, wearing a yellow garment and a lotusgarland and with his effulgent lotuslike countenance and polished earrings, wondered they quite astonished from where this handsome man had come and to whom he, wearing Krishna's clothes and ornaments, belonged. With all of them talking like this crowded they eagerly around him who was sheltered by the lotus feet of Uttamas'loka [the Lord Praised in the Scriptures].


(14) O mister sixlegs, why are you singing here so much about the Master of the Yadus in front of us, old friends of the Friend of Vijaya [Arjuna], who abandoned their homes; you better sing of His topics before the [present] girlfriends of whom He [now has] relieved of the pain of their breasts - His sweethearts will provide you the charity you seek [vijalpa *4].


(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].


Chapter 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 [*].'
