c9.2617

The sixty-sixth stanza was the last one he sang. Śrī Kṛṣṇa was showing Satyabhāmā, the various countries and describing the prominence of each, when they had reached the earth after obtaining the Pārijāta flowers from the world of the gods. After having described the kingdoms of Pāṇḍya and Cola, the poet was beginning to describe the natural beauty of 'Saptakoṅkaṇas' (the seven Koṅkaṇa countries). The story says that when he had sung the last line of that stanza his tongue was burnt and he could not proceed with the rest of the poem.
