Be propitious therefore, O lord, unto me. I have given Báńa assurance of safety; do not thou falsify that which I have spoken. He has grown old in devotion to me; let him not incur thy displeasure. The Daitya has received a boon from me, and therefore I deprecate thy wrath." When he had concluded, Govinda, dismissing his resentment against the Asura, looked graciously on the lord of Umá, the wielder of the trident, and said to him, "Since you, Śankara, have given a boon unto Báńa, let him live: from respect to your promises, my discus is arrested: the assurance of safety granted by you is granted also by me. You are fit to apprehend that you are not distinct from me. That which I am, thou art; and that also is this world, with its gods, demons, and mankind. Men contemplate distinctions, because they are stupified by ignorance." So saying, Krishńa went to the place where the son of Pradyumna was confined. The snakes that bound him were destroyed, being blasted by the breath of Garud́a: and Krishńa, placing him, along with his wife, upon the celestial bird, returned with Pradyumna and Ráma to Dwáraká. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 5.33.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.33.41) - [Next: 5.33.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.33.43) - [Up: 5.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.33) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.5.33.4.3) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.5.33.p5) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Commentaries (3) - [Viṣṇucittīya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!visnucitta.114.29) — Sanskrit - [Vaiṣṇavakūṭacandrikā Viṣṇupurāṇaṭīkā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!ratnagarbha.p428) — Ratnagarbhamiśra, Sanskrit - [Ātmaprakāśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!sridhara) — Śrīdhara Svāmin, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.5.33.42) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Tattvaśekhara (Lokācārya)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.visistadvaita.tenkalai.tattvasekhara-lokacarya.1.70) — Lokācārya, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.33.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.5.33.42) · Pramāṇa
