[10.60.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.18) Kings such as the king of Cedi, Śālva, Jarāsandha, and Dantavakra / hate me, O fair-thighed one, and so does Rukmīn, your

[10.60.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.22) Having heard this unpleasant speech, never heard before, from the Lord of the rulers of the three worlds, her own beloved, / the queen, terrified, with trembling arising in her heart, wept and fell into endless anxiety. ### [10.60.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.23) Scratching the ground with

### [10.60.23.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.23.p1) Her intellect ruined by extreme grief, fear, and sorrow, the fan fell from her hand whose bracelet was slipping off,

[10.60.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.26) Quickly descending from the couch and raising her up, the four-armed one / smoothed her hair and wiped her face with his lotus hand. ### [10.60.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.27) Wiping her eyes filled with tears and her breasts afflicted with sorrow, / and embracing that chaste woman whose attention was devoted to no other with his arm, O King, ### [10.60.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.28) the Master, skilled in consolation, the refuge of the virtuous devotees, consoled the distressed lady out of compassion, / whose mind was bewildered by playful words and who was undeserving of such distress. ### [10.60.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.29) The Lord said: / 'Do not, do not be angry, O princess of Vidarbha!

### [10.60.36.p3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.36.p3) Indeed you possess nothing, since there is nothing beyond you, to whom even the receivers of offerings, beginning with the unborn \[Brahmā\], bring tribute; ### [10.60.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.37) those blinded by wealth, seeking only the satisfaction of their life-breaths, do not know you as Death; yet you are the dearest to the receivers of offerings, and they to you. ### [10.60.37.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.37.p1) \[…\] ### [10.60.37.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata~en-mt.10.60.37.p2) You are indeed identical with all the aims of human life, the very nature of the ultimate fruit, desiring which the wise abandon everything;
