among men; (10) having been Nārāyaṇa, he became Hari, Brahmán, Sūrya, Dharma, Dhātṛ, Yama, Anala, Vāyu, Vaiçravaṇa, Rudra, Kāla, the firmament (khaṃ), the earth, and the ten directions, etc.; (11) in the forest of Caitraratha he gratified the highest god with sacrifices and at each sacrifice he offered gold by hundreds of thousands; (12) becoming Viṣṇu, the son of Aditi, and the younger brother of Indra, he, even while a child, pervaded, in three steps, the heaven, the firmament and the earth, and, standing in the abode of the Sun (Adityasadane, B. however has Adityasyandane, i.e. in the chariot of the Sun), outshone him by his splendour; (13) in thousands of incarnations (prādurbhāveṣu) he slew sinful Asuras by hundreds; (14) he cut the bonds of Muru (v. BR. s.v. Maurava), killed Niṣunda and Naraka, and again rendered safe the road of Prāgjyotiṣa; (15) he slew Ahṛti (a river, BR.; a city, Nil.), and also Krātha, Çiçupāla with his adherents, Jarāsandha, Çaibya, and Çatadhanvan; (16) on his chariot, roaring like clouds, he conquered his queen, the daughter of the Bhoja king (Bhojyāṃ) by defeating in battle Rukmin; (17) he slew Indradyumna and the Yavana Kaçerumat; (18) he slew Çalva, the lord of Saubha, and destroyed Saubha; (19) at Irāvatī he slew Bhoja, who was equal to Kārtavīrya in battle; (20) he slew Gopati and Tālaketu; (21) he had appropriated to himself the wealthy (bhogavatīṃ) and holy Dvārakā, beloved by the ṛṣis (so PCR., who has read ṛṣikuntāṃ instead of ṛṣikāṃ tāṃ) and will again submerge it within the ocean; (22) at the end of the yuga he had contracted all beings and withdrawn the whole universe into his own self; (23) in the beginning of the yuga Brahmán sprung from the lotus of his navel; (24) when the dānavas Madhu and Kaiṭabha were bent upon slaying Brahmán, there sprang from his (i.e. *K.*'s) forehead Çambhu (i.e. Çiva), the holder of the trident (Çūlapāṇiḥ) with three eyes (Trilocanaḥ); thus these two foremost deities (i.e. Brahmán and Çiva) had sprung from his body to do his work; this Nārada had told; (25) the deeds he performed when a boy, assisted by Baladeva, never had been done nor would be done by others; (26) he dwelt on Kailāsa together with brahmans.—*K.* said to Arjuna: "Thou art mine and I am thine, those who are mine are also thine, he who hates thee hates me, and he who follows thee follows me; thou art Nara and I am Hari Nārāyaṇa; we are the ṛṣis Nara and Nārāyaṇa born in the world [of men] in time (i.e. for a special purpose, PCR.); thou art the same as I and I am the same as thou; there is no difference between us."
