Chapter
74: The
Rajasűya: Krishna Number One
and S'is'upâla Killed
(26) Hearing the twice-born souls
say this, the king, pleased to know the heart of
the assembly,
overwhelmed by love worshiped Hrishîkes'a in full.
(37) Abandoning
the lands [of Mathurâ] graced by the brahmin
sages, He with His associates took to a fortress
in the sea
[10.50: 49] where
the brahminical order is not observed [10.57: 30] and
where they as thieves cause the
people a lot of trouble [e.g. 10.61].'
(38) The Supreme Lord did not
say a word to him who, using such and more harsh
words, had spoilt all his chances. He kept
silent like a lion to a jackal's cry. (39) Hearing that
intolerable criticism, the members of the
assembly covered
their ears
and walked away, while angrily cursing the king of
Cedi. (40) A person who does not
leave the place where the Supreme Lord or His
devotee is criticized, loses his pious credit
and will fall down. (41) Then the sons of Pându, as also
the Matsyas, Kaikayas and Srińjayas, stood up
infuriated with raised weapons, prepared to kill
S'is'upâla.

(14) Men and women nicely adorned with

various liquids.
Chapter
76: The Battle Between S'âlva
and the Vrishnis
(4) The foolish king this way
vowed, only once a day ate a handful of dust,
while worshiping as his master the Lord who
protects the animallike [Pas'upati or S'iva *].
Chapter
77: S'âlva
and the Saubha-fortress Finished
(37) After the sinner had fallen
and the Saubha fortress was destroyed by the
club, kettledrums sounded in the sky, oh King, played by a host
of demigods. And then... it was Dantavakra who,
in order to avenge his friends, furiously ran forward.'
Chapter
78: Dantavakra
Killed and Romaharshana
Beaten with a Blade of Grass
(28) Even though He was on a
pilgrimage and thus had stopped with killing the
impious, the Supreme Lord, after having said
this, did what had become inevitable. The Lord put an end to him by
means of the tip of a blade of grass that He
held in His hand.
