“You may return to your own countries and take cognizance of your kingdom, society, wealth and homes.”2329.
After freeing them from the bondage, when Krishna said this, then all the king replied,
“We have no royal and social connections now we only remember you.”
Krishna said, “I shall make all of you kings here
” Agreeing to the words of Krishna, the kings requested him, “O Lord! kindly keep us under your care.”2330.
End of the description of reaching Delhi after killing Jarasandh and getting all the kings released in Krishnavatara in Bachittar Natak.
Now begins the description of the Rajsui Yajna and the killing of Shishupal
SWAYYA
On that side, the kings went to their homes and on this side Krishna reached Delhi
Bhima told all that he got strength from Krishna and thus killed the enemy
Then he called the Brahmins and started a Rajasu Yagna with proper method.
Then calling the Brahmins respectfully, the Rajsui Yajna was begun and this Yajna began with the playing of the drum of Krishna.2331.
Speech of Yudhishtar addressed to the Court:
SWAYYA
Assembling an assembly of Brahmins and Chhatriyas, King Yudhishthara said, Whom should we worship (first).
In the court of Kshatriyas and Brahmins, the king said, “Who should primarily be worshipped? Who is the most deserving person here, on whose forehead the saffron and other ingredients be applied?
Sahdev said, “Only Krishna is the most suitable
He is the real Lord and we all are a sacrifice to him.”2332.
Speech of Sahdev
SWAYYA
“O mind! always serve him and do not entangle yourself in other matter
Abandoning all the entanglements, absorb your mind only in Krishna
His mystery is more or less, obtained by us in Vedas and Purana and in the company of the saints
Therefore primarily, the saffron and other ingredients be applied to the forehead of Krishna.”2333.
When Sahadeva spoke such words, the reality became clear in the mind of the king (Yudhisthara).
This speech of Sahdev was considered by all us true and in their minds they visualised him as Lord-god
Taking saffron and rice in his hand, he applied (Tilak) on (Sri Krishna's) forehead with the sound of Vedas (mantras) in good manner.
Within the chanting of Vedic mantras, the saffron and other ingredients were applied on the forehead of Krihsna, seeing which, Shishupal sitting there, became extremely infuriated.2334.
Speech of the Shishupal:
SWAYYA
What is this thing, except for a great knight like me, who has a tilak on his forehead?
Who is he, on whose forehead the frontal mark of saffron has been applied, leaving aside a great warrior like me? He has, living in Gokul village only among the milkmaids, eaten and drunk their curd and milk
He is the same, who had escaped because of the fear of the enemy and gone to Dwarka
All this was uttered by Shishupal in great anger.2335.
In his fury, Shishupal said all this within the hearing of whole court and got up, taking in his hand a huge mace, getting enraged
He, causing both his eyes to dance and calling bad names, said to Krishna
“Being only a Gujjar (milkman), on what basis you call yourself the king of Yadavas?
” Krishna saw all this and kept seated silently in view of the promise made to his aunt.2336.
CHAUPAI
Sri Krishna kept the word of Bhua (Kunti) in Chit
Remembering the promise made to his aunt, Krishna was not filled with anger after listening to one hundred bad named
(Krishna, after being insulted a hundred times) now stood up with strength and did not fear anyone (in mind).
Upto one hundred, he was not deterred in any way, but on reaching upto one hundred, Krishna caught his discus in his hand.2337.
Speech of Krishna:
SWAYYA
He stood up with the wheel in his hand and angrily spoke to him like this.
Krishna stood up, taking his discus in his hand and getting infuriated he said, “Remembering the words of my aunt, I have not killed you till now and kept silent
“If you uttered any more bad name above one hundred, then think that you hve called your death yourself
