Narayaneeyam
Dashaka 74
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I will come again', saying so Thou dispersed the woman who had given unguents to Thee, whose gaze followed Thee till as far as Thou could be seen, going away. Then Thou prepared to enter the outer gate of the city (Mathura). Thy coming was preceeded by Thy fame which was like Devaki's (Krishna's mother) breast milk stimulated by the jubiliation of Thy arrival.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Having entered the festive city Thou proceeded to the hall of the great bow. Charmed by Thy majesty, the people stood at a distance and the gaurds too gave way to Thee to enter. The great bow lay there decorated with flower garlands and worshipped. Before the gaurds or the caretakers admonished Thee saying 'No no" Thou took hold of the bow, lifted it up, strung it, drew it and also broke it. |
