All these kings will see here that either I shall not survive or you will not survive.”2338.
Speech of Shishupal addressed to Krishna:
SWAYYA
When (he) Abhimani (Shisupala) heard thus (then) he replied in anger.
When that egoist heard this, he said in anger, “O Gujar! (milkman), shall I die by only your words of killing?
It appears that your death has come very near in the court
This story will also continue to be told in all the four ages in Vedas and Puranas.2339.
What happened if (you) flashed the circle and said that I will kill you.
“Glistening your discus, you are threatening to kill me, shall I became afraid by this? Being called a Kshatriya, shall I become afraid in this court from a Gujjar like you?
Oath of (me) mother, father and brother, Oi! I will kill you or die myself.
“I swear by my parents and brother I shall not die today, but shall kill you and I shall today avenge you on account of Rukmi.”2340.
When Shishupal said these things then Sri Krishna became very angry.
When Shishupal said this, then Krishna became greatly enraged and said, “O fool! this whole court and the sun are a witness that you want death,
(Then) Sudarshan took the wheel in his hand and jumped over the whole assembly.
“Krishna took the discus in his hand and jumped and advanced forward in order to kill Shishupal.2341.
On this side Krishna advanced forward and from that side Shishupal came in front of him
Getting extremely angry, Krishna discharged his discus towards the enemy
(Chakra) went and hit him on the neck and cut off (the head) which was separated (from the neck) and fell on the ground.
The discus hit the throat of Shishupal, his head was chopped and it fell on the ground like the sun being killed had been thrown on the earth.2342.
End of the chapter entitled “Killing of Shishupal” in Krishnavatara in Bachittar Natak.
Now begins the description of Krishna getting infuriated and Yudhistar asking for forgiveness.
SWAYYA
(Krishna) has cut off the head of Shishupala and is staring with both nainas filled with anger.
After chopping the head of Shishupal, and getting enraged, Krishna made his eyes dance and said, “Is there anyone so mighty, who can fight with me
