After getting Nanda's permission, the Gwalis decorated the chariots well.
With the concurrence of Nand, all the gopas decorated their chariots, the women sat in them and they started with the resonance of their musical instruments
Yashoda looks impressive with Krishna in her lap
It seems that she has obtained this good reward after offering gold in charity Yashoda seems like a rock in the mountain and Krishna in her lap appears like a sapphire.153.
The gopas forsaking Gokul came to their abodes in Braja
They sprinkled buttermild and fragrances and burnt incenses within their houses and outside
The best and greatest success of that image has been narrated by the poet from (his) face thus saying
The great poet has said about this beautiful scene that it seemed to him that after bestowing the kingdom of Lanka on Vibhishana, Ram had purified Lanka again.154.
Speech of the poet: DOHRA
All the Gwalas began to live happily in Braj-Bhoomi.
All the gopas were delighted to be in Braja and now I narrate the wonderful sports of Krishna.155.
SWAYYA
When seven years passed, Kanha began to graze the cows.
After seven years Krishna began to graze cows, he produced tunes by combining the leaves of the papal tree and all the boys began to sing on the tune of the flute
He used to bring the gopa boys in his home and also caused fear in them and threatened them at his will
The mother Yashoda on getting pleased and seeing them dancing she served milk to all of them.156.
The trees of Braja began to fall and with this the demons were also redeemed
Seeing this the flowers were showered from the sky the poets gave various similes regarding this scene
(According to him) the three people are being blessed that (Sri Krishna) has just reduced the weight of the earth.
The voices of “Bravo, Brovo” were heard in the three worlds and there were supplications “O Lord! Lighten the burden of the earth.” Listen to this story attentively, as described by the poet Shyam.157.
Seeing this wonderful sport, the boys of Braja, visiting every home, have related it
Listening about the killing of demons, Yashoda was pleased in her mind
Whatever description the poet has given through the flow of his composition, the same has become famous in all the four directions
There was the flowing current of joy in the mind of the mother Yashoda.158.
Now begins the description of the killing of the demon Bakasura
SWAYYA
Listen to what the king said to Bakasura after hearing the (news) of the giant (calf) being killed.
Hearing about the killing of demons, the king Kansa said to Bakasura, “Now you abandon Mathura and go to Braja.”
He bowed and stated on saying this. “I am going there, when you are sending me
” Kansa said smiling, “You will now kill him (Krishna) through deception.”159.
As the day dawned, Krishna (Girdhari) took the cows and calfs to the forest
Then he went to the bank of Yamuna, where the calves drank pure (and not saltish) water
At that time there came a dreadful-looking demon named Badasura
He transformed himself into a heron and gulped all the cattle, whom Krishna had left there.160.
DOHRA
Then Sri Krishna took the form of Agni and entered his (mouth and) burnt his cheek.
Then Vishnu assuming the form of fire, burnt his throat and Bakasura considering his end near, out of fear, vomited them all.161.
SWAYYA
When he (Baksur) attacked Sri Krishna, they grabbed his beak with force.
When Bakasura hit them, then Krishna caught his beak with force and ripped him, a stream of blood began to flow
What more should I describe this spectacle
The soul of that demon merged in God like the light of the stars merging in the light of the day.162.
KABIT
When the demon came and opened his mouth, then Krishna thought about his destruction
Krishna, who is worshipped by gods and adepts disjoined his beak and killed the mighty demon
He fell on the earth in two halves and the poet felt inspired to relate it
It seemed that the children having gone to play in the forest cleaved the long grass through the middle.163.
End of the killing of the Demon Bakasura.
