The kettledrums, charionets, and small drums were being played with such intensity that the ear-drums seemed to be getting torn.1985.
The marriage of both was soleminsed according to Vedic rites and there were performed the matrimonial rites of moving round the sacred fire with the chanting of mantras
Enormous gifts were given to the eminent Brahmins
A charming altar was erected, but nothing seemed appropriate without Krishna.1986.
Then taking the priest alongwith themselves all went to worship the goddess
Many warriors followed them on their chariots
Seeing such an atmosphere, Rukmi, the brother of Rukmani said this, “O Lord! I am very fortunate that you have protected my honour.”1987.
CHAUPAI
When Rukmani went into the temple, she became greatly agitated with affliction
She beseeched Chandi weepingly if this match was necessary for her.1988.
SWAYYA
Keeping her friends away from her, she took the small dagger in her hand and said, “I shall commit suicide
I have served Chandi greatly and for that service, I have got this reward
“I shall die and this place will become polluted by my death, otherwise I shall please her now and get the boon of marrying Krishna from her.”1989.
Speech of the goddess:
SWAYYA
Seeing her in such a plight, the mother of the world was pleased and said to her, “You are the wife of Krishna, you should have no duality about this, even slightly
“Whatever there is in the mind of Shishupal, that will never occur and whatever is in your mind, that will definitely happen.”1990.
DOHRA
After getting this boon from Chandika, and being pleased, she mounted on her chariot
And went back considering Krishna as a friend in her mind.1991.
SWAYYA
Abiding Krishna in her mind, she mounted on her chariot and went back and seeing the large army of the enemies she did not utter the name of Krishna from her mouth
At the same time, Krishna reached there and he shouted the name of Rukmani and catching her by her arm, he put her in his chariot with this strength.1992.
Taking Rukmani in his chariot, Krishna said within, the hearing of all the warriors, “I am taking her away even within the sight of Rukmi,
“And anyone who has the audacity, he may now rescue her by fighting with me
I shall kill all today, but shall not swerve from this task.”1993.
Hearing these words of Krishna, all of them got infuriated and patting their arms, in great anger, fell upon him
All of them attacked Krishna playing their clarionets, kettledrums, small drums and war-trumpets
And Krishna taking his bow and arrows in his hands, despatched all of them to the abode of Yama in an instant.1994.
The warriors fearing none and playing on their drums and chanting war-songs came before Krishna like the clouds of Sawan
When Krishna discharged his arrows, they could not stay before him even for an instant
Someone is groaning, while lying on the earth and someone is reaching the abode of Yama after dying.1995.
Seeing such a plight of the army, Shishupal himself came forward in great fury and said to Krishna, “Do not consider me Jarasandh, whom you caused to run away,”
