nor could Naraka with all the Dānavas at Prāgjyotisha; slaying Naraka, Kṛṣṇa brought away 1,000 damsels and married them all. In the city of Nirmocana 6,000 mighty Asuras failed to seize him with their nooses. He also mentioned Pūtanā Ṣakuṇi, etc. (ξ) (V, 130). Kṛṣṇa reminded Duryodhana that he was not alone, and from his body issued myriads of gods, etc. (ο); all the kings were terrified and closed their eyes, except Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Vidura, Sañjaya, and the Ṛṣis, for Kṛṣṇa gave them celestial sight, etc. Then he went out with Satyaki and Kṛtavarman. The Ṛṣis Nārada, etc., vanished. He found Dāruka waiting with his chariot (description) drawn by Ṣaibya, and Kṛtavarman, who mounted his chariot. Dhṛtarāṣṭra excused himself that he was powerless. Kṛṣṇa bade farewell to Bhīṣma, etc. (π), and set out, followed by Bhīṣma, etc., to the abode of Kunti (V, 131). Kunti asked Kṛṣṇa to tell Yudhishṭhira to attend to the duties of a Kṣatriya and contemplate virtue alone (“thy virtue is the best,” citing Mucukunda (b). It is the end of the Tretā, or Dvāpara age; if he performs his duty heaven exceedingly; if he fails, he loses heaven, but not exceedingly; if he allows the Kali to set in, he enjoys the fruit of the Kali, which promotes the Kali.
