[20] And as he arrived, that serpent of exceedingly long back, in the manner of a fence-rail, was touched at its tail by his tender sprout-like foot.
[21] Touched by him, it released his father's foot, and spontaneously shedding its serpentine form from within, assumed another body—the form of a Vidyādhara.
[22] And the lotus feet of the glorious king of Vraja, touched by the sprout-like hands of [Kṛṣṇa], regained their proper splendor.
[23] Then, while everyone looked on in wonder, that former Vidyādhara named Sudarśana, having regained his supreme original form, praised him, recounted the story of his curse, prayed for his forgiveness, and permitted by him, departed for his own abode.
[24] Those respectable women, beginning with the wife of the glorious lord of Vraja, who had previously abandoned their shame and rushed there in confusion, bewildered as to what to do—what then to say of the others?—
[25] now embraced one another in proper turn and dissolved into sheer, senseless weeping:
Thus Kṛṣṇa embraced his father, and Rāma did as well; and the mothers embraced Kṛṣṇa and Rāma; / and the others embraced the mothers, and frantic with emotion, all embraced one another. //
[26] Thus, when the night was spent, their minds eager for swift departure, they loaded the assembly of carts together, traversed the long journey as if it were brief, and reached their own Vraja.
[27] There, Upananda and the others, accompanied by the entire cowherd settlement that joined in the recitation of the Vedas surrounded by flawless instrumental music and song, properly welcomed and waved auspicious lamps around the glorious King Nanda, their own brother, who was accompanied by his sons; accommodated them in the pleasure-groves of Vraja; waited upon them with bathing and other services; brought their household members there; completed the cooking; fed everyone and brought them joy; inquired about news of the journey; experienced a surge of joy and thrill; and then escorted everyone to stay in their respective dwellings.
[28] Now he states the conclusion:
Such is your son, O lord of Vraja, a moon of wondrous fame, / the moonlight of whose toenails destroyed all darkness. //
