/0 śrī-rājovāca
tato mahā-bhāgavata uddhave nirgate vanam /
dvāravatyāṃ kim akarod bhagavān bhūta-bhāvanaḥ //

The auspicious king said:
Then, when that exalted devotee Uddhava had departed for the forest,
what did the Lord, the author of all beings, do in Dvāravatī?

1. The king said:— After the great votary Uddhava retired to the forest, what did the glorious Protector of creatures, do at Dwaraka?

11.30.2

brahma-śāpopasaṃsṛṣṭe sva-kule yādavarṣabhaḥ /
preyasīṃ sarva-netrāṇāṃ tanuṃ sa katham atyajat //

When his own clan was afflicted by the curse of the brāhmaṇas,
how did that bull among the Yādavas abandon that body so dear to all eyes?

2 & 3. When His race was assailed by the curse of brahmins how did the Lord of Yadavas cast off His form that was the delight of all eyes:— the form from which women, having once seen it could not withdraw their eyes, which does not leave the ear it once enters into, which is firmly enthroned in the heart of the righteous, whose splendour (glories), when sung, sweetens the words of the wise and poets and bears them high regard and having seen which on the chariot of Arjuna, warriors that fell on the field attained to a form like His?

11.30.2.p1

pratyākraṣṭuṃ nayanam abalā yatra lagnaṃ na śekuḥ $ karṇāviṣṭaṃ na sarati tato yat satām ātma-lagnam &

From which women could not pull back their eyes once attached; which, having entered the ears of the virtuous devotees, does not depart once attached to their self;

11.30.3

yac-chrīr vācāṃ janayati ratiṃ kiṃ nu mānaṃ kavīnāṃ % dṛṣṭvā jiṣṇor yudhi ratha-gataṃ yac ca tat-sāmyam īyuḥ //

the splendor of which inspires poets' words with loving attachment, not to speak of pride; and beholding which mounted on Arjuna's chariot in battle, [warriors] attained likeness with him?

11.30.4

/0 śrī ṛṣir uvāca
divi bhuvy antarikṣe ca mahotpātān samutthitān /
dṛṣṭvāsīnān su-dharmāyāṃ kṛṣṇaḥ prāha yadūn idam //

The auspicious sage said:
Seeing great portents arise in heaven, on earth, and in the intermediate space,
Kṛṣṇa spoke these words to the Yadus seated in the Sudharmā assembly hall:

4. Rishi said:— Noticing the fearful portents that appeared on the earth and in the mid-air, Krishna said to Yadus that were seated in Sudharma.

11.30.5

/0 śrī-bhagavān uvāca
ete ghorā mahotpātā dvārvatyāṃ yama-ketavaḥ /
muhūrtam api na stheyam atra no yadu-puṅgavāḥ //

The Lord said:
These terrible great portents in Dvāravatī are the banners of Yama;
not even for a moment should we stay here, O chiefs of the Yadus.

5. The Lord said:— O great Yadavas, these mighty and fearful portents are seen over Dwaraka like the flags of Yama! We should not stay here even for a moment.

11.30.6

striyo bālāś ca vṛddhāś ca śaṅkhoddhāraṃ vrajantv itaḥ /
vayaṃ prabhāsaṃ yāsyāmo yatra pratyak sarasvatī //

Let the women, children, and old men go from here to Śaṅkhoddhāra;
we shall go to Prabhāsa, where the Sarasvatī flows westward.

vidhir eṣa hy ariṣṭa-ghno maṅgalāyanam uttamam /
deva-dvija-gavāṃ pūjā bhūteṣu paramo bhavaḥ //

For this rite averts misfortune and is the supreme source of blessing;
worship of gods, twice-born, and cows is the highest prosperity among beings.

9. This is the way to avert the evil and the best course to secure auspiciousness: to all beings the worship of the gods, brahmins and cows most surely brings prosperity (both in this and the

other world).

11.30.10

iti sarve samākarṇya yadu-vṛddhā madhu-dviṣaḥ /
tatheti naubhir uttīrya prabhāsaṃ prayayū rathaiḥ //

crossed over in boats and proceeded to Prabhāsa on chariots.

10. All the elderly Yadus heard these words of Krishna, agreed to the proposal, crossed (the sea) in boats and rode in chariots to the holy place of Prabhasa.

diṣṭa-vibhraṃśita-dhiyo yad-dravair bhraśyate matiḥ //

Then there they drank the great intoxicating drink, the maireyaka wine,
their minds confounded by fate—the liquor by which intellect is ruined.

Meeting one another with chariots and elephants bearing flying banners, on donkeys, camels, cows, buffalos, and on foot,
those wildly maddened [warriors] struck with arrows, as tuskers in the forest [strike] with their tusks.

15. With flags flowing in the air, chariots, elephants and the like, with asses, camels, oxen, buffalloes and men and mules striking against one another, they in their irresistible pride struck one another with shafts as elephants do with their tusks.
