Hence in the Sṛṣṭi-khaṇḍa of the Padma Purāṇa and other texts, it is well known that Brahmā himself, while performing a sacrifice, accepted as his wife the daughter of a cowherd, which is a synonym for Ābhīra. And it is clarified in the very same Sṛṣṭi-khaṇḍa that this very lineage of cowherds would enter into association with Śrī Kṛṣṇa's divine play. Therefore, this lineage of Mahābhīra twice-born falling within the Vaiśya caste is supremely praiseworthy. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.3.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3.34) - [Next: 1.3.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3.36) - [Up: 1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu~en-mt.1.3.35) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3.35) · Pramāṇa
