c5.s9.410.4

*Krishna* cast an angry glance [at *Kritavarman*], and *Sātyaki* informed him of the story of the gem *Syamantaka*, which was *Satrājit's*; *Satyabhāmā*, weeping, approached *Krishna*, and sitting on his lap enhanced his anger; *Sātyaki* swore that he would cause *Kritavarman* to follow the five sons of *Draupadi*, etc (δ), whom he had slain with the help of *Aśvatthāman*, and he severed his head in the very sight of *Krishna*, and began to strike down others; *Krishna* rushed forward to prevent him from doing further mischief, and the *Bhojas* and *Andhakas* all assailed him; *Krishna* did not interfere; they struck *Yuyudhāna* with the pots from which they had been eating; *Pradyumna* rushed forward to rescue *Yuyudhāna*; they were both slain. *Krishna* in wrath took up a handful of *erakā* grass, which became a terrible iron club, with which *Krishna* slew all that came before him. The *Andhakas*, etc. (ε), also took up blades of the *erakā* grass, which were converted into iron clubs, and struck one another in consequence of the curse of the brahmans; son killed father and vice versa, inehriated with spirits. Beholding that *Çamba*, etc. (ζ), were slain, *Krishna* exterminated the *Vrishnis* and the *Andhakas*. *Bab hru* and *Dāruka* told him now to go to *Rāma* (XVI, 3). *Dāruka*, *Krishna*, and *Bab hru*, seeking *Rāma*, saw him sitting thoughtfully, reclining his back against a tree.
