Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 9: Chapter 24: Verses 62-67
An account of the posterity of Yadu

Sipping with the hollow of his joined palms in the form of his ears but once from the holiest stream of His glory, which is nectar to the ears of the righteous, a man shakes off the tendencies of actions (standing in the way of Liberation). Through words sweetened by His loving smiles and glances, His valourous pastimes and (divine) personality, charming in every limb, He brought joy to mankind, His activities being ever praised by the Bhojas, Vrsnis, Andhakas, Madhus, Surasenas and Dasarhas (on the one hand) and by the Kurus, Srnjayas and Pandus on the other. Drinking, full of joy, with their eyes the beauty of His face-rendered (all the more) lovely by ears adorned with alligator-shaped ear-rings and lustrous cheeks, (nay,) lit up with a graceful smile and ever steeped in joy-men and women not only did not feel sated but grew angry with Nimi* (who was responsible for the twinkling of their eyes, that interrupted the joyflowing from his sight). As soon as born, Sri Krsna (the supreme Person) went to the dales of Vraja from His father's house (at Mathura) and, having heightened the joy of the residents of Vraja, returned to Mathura, slew enemies , married numerous wives, begot through them hundreds of sons, and worshipped His own Self by means of (a number of) sacrifices in order to popularize His own Vedic path (leading to His realization). Intending to reduce the heavy burden of the earth by means of the internal discord appearing among the Kurus, He swept away by His (mere) glance the armies of kings on the battle-field, loudly proclaimed far and wide the victory of Vijaya (Arjuna), taught the highest truth to (His beloved disciple) Uddhava and returned with an easy mind to His own (divine) Abode.

Thus ends the twenty fourth discourse, entitled "An account of the posterity of Yadu, forming part of an account of the solar and lunar dynasties (of kings), in Book Nine of the great and glorious Bhagavata-Purana,

otherwise known as the Paramahamsa-Samhita, composed by the sage Vedavyasa and consisting of eighteen thousand Slokas.
