Now the king of Chedi (Shishupaal) is going to captivate me. O Abode of Compassion! Save me.' O Lord of the worlds! Thus she prayed to Thee. अशरणां यदि मां त्वमुपेक्ष से सपदि जीवितमेव जहाम्यहम्। इति गिरा सुतनोरतनोद् भृशं सुहृदयं हृदयं तव कातरम्।।8।। ENGLISH TRANSLATION If Thou will foresake me, the helpless one, I will certainly end my life soon.' This massage of the fair Rukmini from the good hearted Braahmin, brought about deep agitation in Thy heart. अकतथयस्त्वमथैनमये सखे तदधिका मम मन्मथवेदना। नृपसमक्षमुपेत्य हराम्यहं तदयि तां दयितामसितेक्षणाम्।।9।। ENGLISH TRANSLATION Thou then told him, 'O friend! My love pangs are more intense than hers. Therefore, I will come, and in presence of the kings, take away the dear dark eyed one.' प्रमुदितेन च तेन समं तदा रथगतो लघु कुण्डिनमेयिवान्। गुरुमरुत्पुरनायक मे भवान् वितनुतां तनुतामखिलापदाम्।।10।। ENGLISH TRANSLATION O Lord of Guruvaayur! Along with the highly delighted Braahmin, Thou immediately got into the chariot and soon reached Kundina. May Thou deign to bring about relief for me from all my afflictions.
