How I become a chameleon, I relate the story now,2249
KABIT
“O Lord! I always used to give in charity one hundred cows and gold to Brahmins
One cow, which had been given in charity mixed in the cows which were to be gifted
“Then the Brahmin, who had got the cow earlier recognised it and said, ‘You are giving my own wealth to me again
’ He did not accept the charity and cursed me to become a chameleon and live in a well, in this way I have obtained this state.2250.
DOHRA
“Being touched by your hand, all my sins have been destroyed and I have been thus rewarded, which is obtained by sages after recitation of the Name for many days.”2251.
End of the chapter entitled “salvation of the Chameleon after taking it out of the well” in Krishnavatara in Bachittar Natak.
Now begins the description of the arrival of Balram in Gokul
CHAUPAI
After redeeming him, the Lord came to his home and he sent Balram to Gokul
On arriving at Gokul, he touched the feet of Nand Baba, which gave him extreme comfort and no sorrow was left.2252.
SWAYYA
After touching the feet of Nand, Balram reached the place of Yashoda and seeing her, he bowed down his head at her feet
The mother hugging the son and crying said, “Krishna has at last thought of us.”2253.
KABIT
When the Gopis came to know that Balram has come, they thought that Krishna also might have come and thinking this,
They filled their parting of hair with saffron, they put the frontal mark on their foreheads and wore ornaments and used collyrium in their eyes
