He ran towards Balram to consult him, but he also told the same thing that Krishna went into the cave, bud did not turn back.2054.
Speech of Balram:
SWAYYA
“Either Krishna has been killed at the hands of the enemy or has gone to the nether-world in search of the jewel of this foolish Satrajit,
“Or he has gone to bring back the life-force (soul) of his brother from Yama or he has not returned after feeling shy of the words of this foolish man.”2055.
When Balram said all this to the king while weeping, then all the Yadavas together beat Satrajit with legs and fists
His turban was removed and tying his hands and feet, he was thrown in a well
No one advised for his release and contemplated to kill him.2056.
When the women heard these things regarding Krihsna, they fell down weeping on the earth and some of them lamented
Someone said that her husband had breathed his last, what would be her condition then, Rukmani gave gifts to the Brahmins and thought of becoming a Sati (dying on the funeral pyre of the husband).2057.
DOHRA
Vasudev and Devaki, becoming extremely anxious, and thinking about the unapproachable will of the Lord, restrained Rukmani from becoming a Sati.2058.
SWAYYA
Devaki instructed her daughter-in-law in this way
That if Krishna had died in a war, then it was appropriate for her to become a Sati, but if he had gone far beyond in search of the jewel (of Satrajit), then it is not right to become a Sati
Therefore the search for him might still be continued
” Saying this, they bowed their heads on the feet of Rukmani and with their modesty got her assent.2059.
