Those, whose body was like gold and beauty like moon, those, whose glory was like that of the god of love and both of whose eyebrows were like arrows
Seeing which gives great happiness and not seeing causes sadness.
On seeing whom, there was attainment of extreme happiness and not seeing whom, the mind experienced sorrow, those gopis withered away like the apodal in water without the moonbeams.811.
Taking all the gopas with him in chariots, Krishna left
The gopis remained within their homes and the suffering of their mind increased abundantly
The place where the gopis had gathered together and were waiting for Krishna, both the brothers, Krishna and Balram, went there
The faces of both the brothers were beautiful like moon and the bodies like gold.812.
When Akrur reached on the bank of Yamuna w3ith all the people, then seeing the love of all, Akrur repented in his mind
He thought that he had sinned profusely in taking away Krishna from that place
Only then did he leave the chariot (Akrur) and enter the water at once to make the dusk.
Thinking like this, he entered the river-water for sandhya prayer and got worried on reflecting that the mighty Kansa would then kill Krishna.813.
DOHRA
When Akrur contemplated (killing) Sri Krishna while taking bath
While taking bath, when Akrur remembered Lored Krishna, then the Lord (Murari) manifested himself in real form.814.
SWAYYA
Akruru saw that Krishna, with thousands of heads and thousands of arms, was seated on the bed of Sheshanaga
He has worn the yellow garments and had the disc and sword in his hands
In the same form Krishna manifested himself to Akrur in Yamuna
Akrur saw that Krishna, the remover of the sorrows of the saints, has under his control the whole world and he has such brilliance that the coulds of Sawan are feeling shy.815.
Then Akrur, coming out of water and in great comfort, started towards Mathura
He ran to the palace of the king and he now had not fear of Krishna being killed
Seeing the beauty of Krishna, all the inhabitants of Mathura gathered together in order to have a look at him
The person, who had any slight ailment in his body, the same was removed on seeing Krishna.816.
Hearing about the arrival of Krishna, all the women of Mathura ran (to have his sight)
The direction in which the chariot was going, all of them gathered there,
They were pleased to see the winsome elegance of Krishna and kept seeing only towards that side
Whatever sorrow they had in their mind, the same was removed on seeing Krishna.817.
End of the chapter entitled “The arrival of Krishna in Mathura alongwith Nand and gopas” in Krishnavatar (based on Dasham Skandh Purana) in Bachittar Natak.
Now begins the description of the killing of Kansa
DOHRA
The poet after reflection has described the beauty of the city of Mathura
Its glory is such that the poets cannot describe.818.
SWAYYA
The city studded with gems looks like the flash of lightning
The river Yamuna flows by its side and its parts look splendid
Seeing it Shiva and Brahma are getting pleased
The houses in the city are so high, that they seem to touch the clouds.819.
When Krishna was going, he saw a washerman in the way
When Krishna took away the clothes from him, he, in anger, began to cry for the king
Krishna, getting enraged in his mind, slapped him
After this beating, he fell dead on the ground like a washerman throwing the clothes on the earth.820.
DOHRA
Shri Krishna told all the Gwalas to give Kutapa Char to the washerman of Vari (Kans).
After beating the washerman, Krishna said to all the gopas to loot all the clothes of the king.821.
SORATHA
The ignorant gopas of Braja did not know the wearing of those clothes
The wife of the washerman came to get them wear the clothes.822.
