Chapter
7: Krishna Kicks the Cart, Defeats
Trinâvarta
and Shows Yas'odâ the Universe
(8) All the ladies and men of
Vraja with Yas'odâ and Nanda first who had assembled for the
utthâna-ceremony,
witnessing that wondrous event marveled on how
the cart by itself indeed could have been damaged so badly
(28) With Him grasping
him by the throat popped out the eyes of the demon as he
choked and lifeless together with the child fell to the ground.
Chapter 8: The Name Ceremony,
His Pranks and
Again the
Universe Within His Mouth
(11) S'rî S'uka said:
'With this urgent request performed the man of learning for the two
boys
in secret seclusion the name-giving ceremony for which he had come.
(30) Hung out of reach He
devises a way piling up things or turning over a mortar and knows He
His way to the contents making a hole in the hanging pot. He knows His
way around in a dark room with enough light to see from the shining
jewels on His body and awaits the time the gopîs are busy with
their household affairs!
(40) 'Is this all a dream, a
divine phantasmagoria or maybe a delusion of my own intelligence or
would otherwise that what I so see be some yogic feat natural to my
child?
Chapter
9: Mother Yas'odâ
Binds Lord Krishna
(8) Though the chasing
mother, in her great speed with flowers fallen from her hair,
heavy-breasted to her thin waist had to slow it down, managed she
finally to capture Him.
(13-14) There is no inside
nor an outside to Him, a beginning nor an end. He, as the end as well
as the beginning, the internal as well as the external of the entire
creation, is the One Totality of that creation. Taking Him, the
Unmanifest in the form of a mortal, for her own son she bound Him to a
mortar like one does with a normal child.
Chapter 10: The Deliverance of the Sons of Kuvera
(6) Seeing him were their
adherents ashamed and covered they afraid of being cursed quickly with
their garments the
nakedness of their bodies, but they, the two
trustees [Shiva-guhyakas], also being naked didn't.
(28) Right there then came
out of the two trees resplendently beautiful, illuminating all
directions, two persons like fire personified who offered
Krishna with
folded hands, head down, their obeisances while they before the Lord of
the Whole World completely purified uttered the following:
Chapter 11: A New Residence, the
Fruitvendor and
Vatsâsura and Bakâsura Defeated
(11) What He had to offer had
fallen from the palms of His hands, but the fruitlady filled them
[nevertheless] with fruits.
In exchange was the entire basket of fruits
filled with gold and jewels.
