/0 śrī-śuka uvāca
tathānugṛhya bhagavān gopīnāṃ sa gurur gatiḥ /
yudhiṣṭhiram athāpṛcchat sarvāṃś ca suhṛdo 'vyayam //

Śrī Śuka said:
Having thus bestowed grace upon the gopīs, the Lord, their spiritual guide and refuge, / then questioned Yudhiṣṭhira and all his friends about their welfare.

1. Sri Suka said:—The Almighty Lord, the preceptor and goal of the world, thus granted the gopis their prayer and then made enquiries of Yudhishtira and all other friends about their welfare.

10.83.2

ta evaṃ loka-nāthena paripṛṣṭāḥ su-sat-kṛtāḥ /
pratyūcur hṛṣṭa-manasas tat-pādekṣā-hatāṃhasaḥ //

Having been thus questioned and deeply honored by the master of the world, / with delighted minds, their sins destroyed by the sight of his feet, they replied:

2. Thus kindly enquired after and honoured by the Supreme Lord, they were transported with joy and were rid of their sin by the virtue of seeing His feet and said:—

10.83.3

kuto 'śivaṃ tvac-caraṇāmbujāsavaṃ mahan-manasto mukha-niḥsṛtaṃ kvacit /
pibanti ye karṇa-puṭair alaṃ prabho dehaṃ-bhṛtāṃ deha-kṛd-asmṛti-cchidam //

Whence can there ever be inauspiciousness for embodied beings who drink to the full with the cups of their ears / the nectar of your lotus feet flowing from the mouths of great-minded devotees, which destroys the forgetfulness that creates the body, O Lord?

3. Whence could any evil (anything inauspicious) assail those who with their ears drink well of the sweet nectar of Thy lotus feet,

which sometimes flows out from the mind of the great and their lips and which, O Lord, removes the ignorance in respect of Thee, which is the cause of the body on the part of creatures?

10.83.3.p1

hi tvātma dhāma-vidhutātma-kṛta-try-avasthām $ ānanda-samplavam akhaṇḍam akuṇṭha-bodham &

Abandoning one's own abode, having shaken off the three states created by oneself, a surge of bliss, unbroken, of unhindered knowledge,

4. We stand bowing to Thee that hast by Thine own lustre (force) kept out the three states produced by the mind, that art the unlimited flood of blissfulness and Absolute unlimited intelligence, O Lord that hast come to protect the Vedas lost through the force of Time, that hast assumed a body through Thy yoga power and that art the one goal of the Paramahamsas.

10.83.4

kālopasṛṣṭa-nigamāvana ātta-yoga- % māyākṛtiṃ paramahaṃsa-gatiṃ natāḥ sma //

We bow to you, the refuge of supreme ascetics, who have assumed a form through your creative power of yoga to protect the scriptures beset by time.

The sage said:
As the people were thus praising the crest-jewel of those of highest renown, the women of the Andhakas and the Kauravas, / having met together, mutually recounted the stories of Govinda, which are sung in the three worlds; listen as I describe them to you.

5. Rishis said:— When the people were singing the praises of the Brightest Jewel among those of high glory (the Lord), the women of Andhakas (Achyuta) and Kauravas met together and mutually sang Sri Govinda's stories that are sung in all the worlds (by the wise). Listen to them as I describe them.

6. & 7. Draupadi said:— O Rukmini, O Bhadra, O Jambavati, Kausala, O Satyabhama, O Kalindi, O Rohini, O Lakshmana, O queens of Krishna, all constant with Achyuta, please tell me this—how the glorious Krishna of Himself married you, behaving through His Maya like a mortal?

Śrī Rukmiṇī said:
When the kings had their bows raised to surrender me to the king of Cedi, he whose foot-dust crowned unconquered warriors / carried me off, as a lion takes his share from a flock of goats and sheep; may those feet, the abode of Śrī, be the object of my worship.

8. Rukmini said:— May those feet of Srinivasa be ever available for my worship, who like a lion that carries away its share from the herds of goats and sheep, took me away, covering with the dust of His feet the heads of the invincible warrior princes, when they were standing with their bows to make me over to Chaidya.

Śrī Satyabhāmā said:
He who defeated the king of bears and brought back the jewel to wipe away the curse cast by my father, / whose heart burned at the killing of his kinsman, and who gave it back; my father, terrified by this, gave me to the master, even though I had already been promised to another.

9. Satyabhama said:— In order to wipe off the blame which my father, grieved at the loss of his brother, cast on Him, the Lord vanquished the great bear and restored the jewel to him. Thereupon my father full of fear offered me to the Almighty Lord, though I had been promised to another.

Not recognizing him as his master and deity, the husband of Sītā, my father fought him for twenty-seven days; / having recognized him upon being tested, he seized his feet and offered me as an offering along with the jewel; I am his servant.

10. Jambavati said;— Not able to recognise Him, as Sitapati, his own Deity, my father fought with Him for twenty-seven days: after undergoing the trial, he understood Him, took hold of His

feet and offered me as a present, together with the jewel: and I am His servant.

12. Bhadra said:— May I have in every life the duty of washing the feet of the Lord, who, the abode of Lakshmi, came to my swayamvara, vanquished the kings and also my brothers that offered resistance and carried me, just as the lion takes his share from the midst of hounds.

Śrī Satyā said:
There were seven bulls of tremendous strength and prowess, with very sharp horns, set up by my father to test the prowess of kings; / he who crushes the false pride of heroes restrained them with ease and bound them in play, as children bind kid-goats.

13. Satra said:— For testing the strength of the kings my father had secured seven oxen which, endowed with inordinate strength and very sharp horns, put down the pride of warriors, The Lord at once took hold of them and yoked them playfully, just as children may deal with lambs.

15. Mitravinda (Bhadra) said: — My father sent for my uncle’s son and of his own accord conferred me on Krishna, O Draupadi, as I had always given my heart to Him, with an army of Akshauhini and many maids-of-honour.

Śrī Lakṣmaṇā said: / O Queen, my mind too, hearing repeatedly of the births and deeds of Acyuta sung by Nārada, / became set upon Mukunda, / who was chosen by the goddess who holds a lotus in her hand, after careful deliberation, leaving aside the guardians of the world.

17. Lakshmana said:— O Draupadi, having heard of His birth and deeds frequently sung by Narada, my heart was also set on Krishna and having well considered (of my own accord), I rejected even Indra and other gods and chose Him with a lotus in my hand.

Just as at your svayaṃvara, O Queen, a fish was set up out of a desire for Arjuna, / but this one was concealed on the outside, / visible only in the water.

19. O queen, just as in thy swayamvara it was done for the sake of Arjuna, the device of a fish was invented, but, this was co-

vered on the outside and was to be seen only reflected in water.

10.83.20

śrutvaitat sarvato bhū-pā āyayur mat-pituḥ puram /

Hearing of this, kings came from all sides to my father’s city— / knowing the truth of all missiles and weapons, / accompanied by their teachers, by the thousands.

20. Hearing of this all the kings versed in the mysteries of all missiles, with their masters, came in thousands to the capital of my father.

Of Him who delights in the self, we indeed became housemaidens, / truly through the renunciation of all attachments / and through austerity.

(and to that state we have attained certainly by renouncing everything else and by the virtue of tapas).
