Then the king controlling himself, in fear, abandoning his weapons, fell down at the feet of Krishna and said, “O Lord! do not kill me
I have not comprehended your power rightly,”
In this way, coming under refuge, the king cried and seeing him in such a plight,
Krishna was filled with mercy.1946.
Speech of Krishna addressed to Balram:
TOTAK STANZA
(Sri Krishna) said, O Balaram! Leave it now
“O Balram! leave him now and remove the ire from you mind
(Balram asked Sri Krishna) Tell me why he wanted to fight with us.
” Then Balram said, “Why does he fight with us?” Then Krishna replied while smiling,1947
SORTHA
Those who become great enemies and drop their weapons and fall on their feet,
“If a greater enemy, relinquishing his weapons, falls at your feet, then forsaking all the anger form the mind, the great people do not kill him.”1948.
DORHA
Sri Krishna left (king) Jarasandha and said, (O king!) listen to what I say.
Releasing Jarasandh, the Lord said, “O kind! Whatever I am telling you, listen it carefully.1949.
SWAYYA
“O king! always do justice and never do any injustice with the helpless
Earn praise by giving something in charity
“Serve the Brahmins, do not let the deceivers to remain alive and
Never indulge in war with Kshatriyas like us.”1950.
DOHRA

End of the chapter entitled “Arresting and releasing Jarasandh” in Krishnavatara in Bachittar Natak.
CHAUPAI
Hearing (of Lord Krishna) all the (Yadavas) come with joy,
All had been puffed up on hearing the news of victory, but they had become sorrowful on knowing that the king Jarasandh had been released
By doing this, everyone's heart is afraid
By this the mind of all had become fearful and all were saying that Krishna had not done the right thing.1952.
SWAYYA
All of them said, “Krishna has done the child’s job by releasing such a powerful one from his custody
He was released earlier and the reward that we got for that was that we had to abandon our city
All of them nodded negatively in affliction at Krishna’s childlike act
After conquering him, he has been left off now, in reality we understand that he has been sent to bring more army.1953.
Someone said that it would be getter to go back to Matura
Someone said that the king would come again with his army for war and then who will die in the battlefield?
And even if one fought with him, he would not be able to win
Therefore we may not go back to the city immediately, whatever God wills, will come to pass and let us see what happens.1954.
The release of the king made all the Yadavas fearful
And all of them talking about various things went to reside on the sea-coast
And none of them advanced his feet towards the city (Matura)
All the warriors, beaten up without weapons, were standing there, extremely frightened.1955.
Krishna went and stood by the seaside and he addressed the sea to do something
When the sea was asked to vacate the earth, while fitting the arrow in the bow,
He left the earth and without the desire of anybody he prepared the golden mansions
Seeing this all said in their minds that Krishna has removed the sufferings of all.1956.
Those who served Sanak, Sanandan etc., the Lord could not be realised by them
