Agni Purana

यमलार्जुनमध्येऽगाद् भग्नौ च यमलार्जुनौ। परिवृत्तश्च शकटः पादक्षेपात् स्तनार्थिना

He went between the twin Arjuna trees, and the trees were broken; the cart was overturned by the foot of the child seeking his mother's breast.

पूतना स्तनपानेन सा हता हन्तुमुद्यता। वृन्दावनगतः कृष्णः कालियं यमुनाह्रदात्

Putana, who came to kill, was slain as she nursed him; Krishna, having gone to Vrindavana, subdued Kaliya in the Yamuna lake.

जित्वा निः सार्य चाब्धिस्थञ्चकार बलसंस्तुतः। क्षेमं तालवनं चक्रे हत्वा धेनुकगर्द्दभम्

Having defeated and driven out Kaliya from the water, praised for his strength, he made Talavana safe by killing Dhenuka, the ass-demon.

अरिष्टवृषभं हत्वा केशिनं हयरूपिणम्। शक्रोत्सवं परित्यज्य कारितो गोत्रयज्ञकः

After slaying Arishta the bull-demon and Keshi in horse form, he abandoned the Indra festival and caused the cowherds' sacrifice to be performed.

पर्वतं घारयित्वा च शक्राद् वृप्टिर्निवारिता। नमस्कृतो महेन्द्रेण गोविन्दोऽथार्जुनोर्पितः

By lifting the mountain, he stopped the rain sent by Indra; Govinda was then worshipped by Mahendra and offered to Arjuna.

इन्द्रोत्सवस्तु तुष्टेन भूयः कृष्णेन कारितः। रथस्थो मथुराञ्चागात् कंसोक्ताक्रूरसंस्तुतः

Then, pleased, Krishna caused the Indra festival to be performed again; riding in a chariot, he went to Mathura, praised by Akrura as instructed by Kamsa.

गोपीभिरनुरक्ताबिः क्रीडिताभिर्निरीक्षितः। रजकं चाप्रयच्छन्तं इत्वा वस्त्राणि चाग्रहीत्

He was gazed upon by the loving Gopis, who played with him; he defeated the washerman who refused him and took the garments.

सह रामेण मालाभृन्मालाकारे वरन्ददौ। दत्तानुलेपनां कुब्जामृजुं चक्रेऽहनद् गजम्

With Rama, he wore a garland and granted a boon to the garland-maker; he straightened the hunchbacked woman who had anointed him, and killed the elephant.

मत्तं कुवलयापीडं द्वारि रङ्गं प्रविश्य च। कंसादीनां पश्यतां च मञ्चस्थानां नियुद्धकम्

He entered the arena, confronting the intoxicated Kuvalayapida at the gate; in the presence of Kamsa and others seated on the platform, he engaged in wrestling.

चक्रे चारणूरमल्लेन मुष्टिकेन बलोऽकरोत्। चाणूरमुष्टिकौ ताभ्यां हतौ मल्लौ तथापरे

He fought with Chanura, the wrestler, and Balarama fought with Mushtika; Chanura and Mushtika were slain by them, as were other wrestlers.

जरासन्धस्य ते पुत्रयौ जरासन्धस्तदीरितः। चक्रेस मथुरारोधं यादवैर्युयुधे च कंसगे

Those two were the sons of Jarasandha; Jarasandha, having been informed, besieged Mathura and fought with the Yadavas for Kamsa's sake.

रामकृष्णौ च मथुरां त्यक्त्वा गोमन्तमागतौ। जरासन्धं विजित्याजौ पौण्ड्रकं वासुदेवकम्

Rama and Krishna, leaving Mathura, went to Gomanta; having defeated Jarasandha in battle, they overcame Paundraka Vasudeva.

पुरीं च द्वारकां कृत्वा न्यवसद् यादवैर्वृतः। भौमं तु नाकं हत्वा तेनानीताश्च कन्यकाः

Establishing the city of Dvaraka, he dwelt there surrounded by the Yadavas; after slaying Bhauma, he brought the maidens from there.

देवगन्धर्वयक्षाणां ता उवाह जनार्द्दनः। षोडशस्त्रीसहस्त्राणि रुक्मिण्याद्यास्तथाष्ट च

Janardana married those maidens, who were from the gods, Gandharvas, and Yakshas; there were sixteen thousand wives, beginning with Rukmini, and also eight others.

सत्यभामासमायुक्तो गरुडे नरकार्दनः। मणिशैलं सन्त्यश्च इन्द्रं जित्वा हरिर्दिवि

Joined by Satyabhama, the subduer of Naraka, Hari went to Mani mountain on Garuda; having conquered Indra, he took the jewel from heaven.

पारिजातं समानीय सत्यभामागृहेऽकरोत्। सान्दीपनेश्च शश्त्रास्त्रं ज्ञात्वा, तद्बालकं ददौ

He brought the Pārijāta tree and placed it in Satyabhāmā’s house; having learned the science of weapons from Sāndīpani, he returned his son to him.

जित्वा पञ्चजनं दैत्यं यमेन च सुपूजितः। अवधीत् कालयवनं मुचुकुन्देन पूजितः

Having defeated the demon Pañcajana, he was highly honored by Yama; he slew Kālayavana and was honored by Mucukunda.

वसुदेवं देवकीञ्च भक्तविप्रांश्च सोर्च्चयत्। रेवत्यां बलभद्राच्च यज्ञाते निशठोन्मुकौ

He honored Vasudeva, Devakī, and the devoted Brāhmaṇas; Balabhadra and Revati, after performing a sacrifice, were ready for departure.

कृष्णात् शाम्बो जाम्बवत्यामन्यास्वन्येऽभवन् सुताः । प्रद्युम्नोऽभूच्च रुक्मिण्यां षष्ठेऽह्नि स हृतो बलात्

From Kṛṣṇa, Śāmba was born from Jāmbavatī, and other sons from other wives; Pradyumna was born from Rukmiṇī, and on the sixth day he was forcibly taken away.

शम्बरेणाम्बुधौ क्षिप्तोमत्स्योजग्राह धीवरः। तं मत्स्यं शम्बरायादान्मायावत्यैच शम्बरः

Thrown into the ocean by Śambara, a fisherman caught him as a fish; that fish was taken to Śambara, and Māyāvatī was with Śambara.

मायावती मत्स्यमध्ये दृष्ट्वा स्वं पतिमादरात्। पपोष सा तं चोवाच रतिस्तेऽहं पतिर्मम

Seeing her own husband inside the fish, Māyāvatī, with affection, nourished him and said, 'I am your Rati, you are my husband.'

कामस्त्वं शम्भुनानङ्गः कृतोहं शम्बरेण च। हृता न तस्य पत्नी त्वं मायाज्ञः शम्बरं जहि

'You are Kāma, made bodiless by Śiva, and I was taken by Śambara; I am not his wife. You, knower of magic, slay Śambara.'

तच्छ्रुत्वा शम्बरं हत्वा प्रद्युम्नः सह भार्यया। मा यावत्या ययौ कृष्णं कृष्णो हृष्टोऽथ रुक्मिणी

Hearing this, Pradyumna killed Śambara and, together with his wife Māyāvatī, went to Kṛṣṇa; Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī rejoiced.

प्रद्युम्नादनिरुद्वोभूदुषापतिरुदारधीः। बाणो बलिसुतस्तस्य सुतोषा शोणितं पुरम्

From Pradyumna was born Aniruddha, lord of Uṣā, noble-minded; Bāṇa, son of Bali, had a daughter Uṣā in the city of Śoṇita.

तपसा शिवपुत्रोऽभूद् मायूरध्वजपातितः। युद्धं प्राप्स्यसि बाण त्वं बाणं तुष्टः शिवोभ्यधात्

Through austerity, he became the son of Śiva, bearing the peacock banner; Śiva, pleased, said to Bāṇa, 'You will obtain battle.'

शिवेन क्रीडतीं गौरीं दृष्ट्वोषा सस्पृहा पतौ। तामाह गौरी भर्त्ता ते निशि सुप्तेति दर्शनात्

Seeing Gaurī playing with Śiva, Uṣā longed for a husband; Gaurī said to her, 'Your husband will appear to you at night in a dream.'

वैशाखमासद्वादश्यां पुंसो भर्त्ता भविष्यति। गौर्य्युक्त हर्षिता चोषा गृहे सुप्ता ददर्श तम्

On the twelfth day of the month of Vaiśākha, a man will become your husband; delighted by Gaurī’s words, Uṣā saw him in her house while asleep.

आत्मना सङ्गतं ज्ञात्वा तत्सख्या चित्रलेखया। लिखिताद्वै चित्रपटादनिस्द्धं समानयत्

Knowing her union with him, her friend Citralekhā, by painting his image on a canvas, brought Aniruddha without obstruction.

कृष्णणौत्रं द्वारकातो दुहिता बाणमन्त्रिणः। कुम्भाण्डस्यानिरुद्धोगाद्रराम ह्युषया सह

Aniruddha, Kṛṣṇa’s grandson, went from Dvārakā, with Uṣā, daughter of Bāṇa’s minister Kumbhāṇḍa.
