In this way, they discussed about Krishna for hours together.2443.
Krishna sensed this love of the king and the Brahmin, and
He thought that these people are only absorbed in his meditation leaving other domestic tasks
He called his charioteer Daruk and caused his chariot to be driven to their side
He thought that he should gratify them by going within the sight of these helpless persons.2444.

Then Sri Krishna assumed two forms.
Then Krishna manifested himself in tow forms, in one form he went to the king and in the other he went to the Brahmin
The king and the Brahmin served him (in their respective houses).
Both the king and the Brahmin performed extreme service and relinquished all the afflictions of their mind.2445.

Krishna stayed there for four months and found great happiness.
Krishna stayed there for four months happily and then he went back to his home causing the resounding of his trumpets.2446.
Because of this love, Sri Krishna called the king and the Brahmin as one
Krishna said to the king and the Brahmin with love, “The way in which all the four Vedas repeat my name, you may also repeat and listen to my Name.”2447.
End of the description of the episode of the king of Mathila country and the Brahmin in Krishnavatara (based on Dasham Skandh Purana) in Bachittar Natak.
Now begins the description of Shukdev addressed to the king Parikshat
SWAYYA
In what manner do the Vedas sing the attributes (of the Lord), "O Shukadeva! Let me hear (the answer to this) from you, (this thought has come to my) mind."
“O king! listen, how the Vedas eulogise Him and sing the praises of the Lord causing the relinquishment of all the domestic temptations
The Vedas says that the form and colour of that Lord are invisible. O king! I have never given you such an instruction
Therefore abide this instruction in your mind.”2248.
That Lord has no form, no colour, no garb and no end
His praises are sung in all the fourteen worlds day and night
His love should be kept in mind in meditation, spiritual pursuits and in the bath
O king! He, whom the Vedas remember, He should always be remembered.”2449.
Whose body, soaked in the juice of Krishna, always sings praises.
The Lord, whose praises are sung with love by all, my father (Vyas) also used to sing His praises which I have heard
All chant Hari (Sri Kishan). He is not the one who has weak intelligence.
Those who are of very low intellect, they only do not remember Him, “in this way Shukdev addressed the king, “O king! that Lord should always be remembered with love.”2450.
He, who is not realized on enduring many sufferings and wearing mattered locks
Who is not realised by getting education, by performing austerities and closing the eyes
And who cannot be pleased by playing upon several types of musical instruments and by dancing
That Brahman cannot be realized by anyone without love.2451.
He is being searched by Surya and Chandra, but they could not know his mystery
Even the ascetic like Rudra (Shiva) and also Vedas could not know His mystery
Narada also sings His praises on his Vina (lyre), but according to the poet Shyam
Without love none could realise Krishna as Lord-God.2452.
DOHRA
When Shukdev said this to the king, the king asked Shukdev, “How this can happen that in his birth the Lord may remain in agony and
Shiva himself may remain in comfort, kindly enlighten me on this episode.”2453.
CHAUPAI
When (the king) said thus to Shukadev,
Then Shukadev wanted to answer.
The same (question) also came to Yudhishthara's mind.
Then the king said this to Shukdev, then Shukdev while replying said this, “The same thing also occurred in the mind of Yudhishtar and he had asked Krishna the same thing and Krishna had also explained this mystery to Yudhishtar.”2254.
