Then taking the priest alongwith themselves all went to worship the goddess
Many warriors followed them on their chariots

When Rukmani went to that temple,
When Rukmani went into the temple, she became greatly agitated with affliction
He thus wept and said to the goddess,
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
By sending the souls to Yamaraj's house, I offer sin on this shrine (temple).
“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 his condition, Jagat Mata appeared, laughed at him and said,
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
What is in Shishupal's mind will not be in his interest.
“Whatever there is in the mind of Shishupal, that will never occur and whatever is in your mind, that will definitely happen.”1990.

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
Among them (the enemies) came Sri Krishna (on Rukmani's chariot) and thus said, Oi! I am taking it.
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.
Having mounted Rukmani in a chariot, having told all the warriors thus (said)
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 his words like this, all the warriors came with great anger.
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 who had never retreated even from anyone, have come before him in anger.
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 condition of (his) army, Sishupala was enraged and came to Nitra himself (to fight).
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,”
After saying this, he drew the bow to his ear and shot the arrow.
