That being the case, Rāma and the unconquered [Kṛṣṇa], speaking together in private with careful words, clearly decided in absolute seclusion: "This was submitted by us two in all sincerity to the feet of these two elders. But it has been rejected by them out of concern for their own misfortune; and disobeying a guru's order would not lead to auspiciousness. For to obey the order [of his father], that best of the Raghus, who observed supreme decorum, gave up even a vast kingdom and boldly plunged with his young wife into the forest, fearsome though it was with the activities of demons. And the consequence of transgressing their command is also considered: Jarāsandha and others, launching investigations through their connection with us, would bring calamity even upon Vraja. Let what is relevant stand, while all other irrelevant considerations are set aside. Therefore, reassuring the feet of the revered king of Vraja [from here] is the only proper course at present."
