Bhagavata Purana

तथा निर्विविशुर्गर्तं कृष्णाश्वासितमानसः । यथावकाशं सधनाः सव्रजाः सोपजीविनः

Thus, their minds reassured by Krishna, the residents of Vraja, along with their wealth, families, and dependents, entered the hollow as space allowed.

क्षुत्तृड्व्यथां सुखापेक्षां हित्वा तैर्व्रजवासिभिः । वीक्ष्यमाणो दधावद्रिं सप्ताहं नाचलत् पदात्

Abandoning hunger, thirst, pain, and the desire for comfort, the residents of Vraja watched as Krishna held up the mountain for seven days without moving his feet.

कृष्णयोगानुभावं तं निशम्येन्द्रोऽतिविस्मितः । निःस्तम्भो भ्रष्टसङ्‌कल्पः स्वान् मेघान् संन्यवारयत्

Hearing of Krishna's wondrous power of yoga, Indra was utterly astonished; stunned and his resolve broken, he withdrew his clouds.

खं व्यभ्रमुदितादित्यं वातवर्षं च दारुणम् । निशम्योपरतं गोपान् गोवर्धनधरोऽब्रवीत् निर्यात त्यजत त्रासं गोपाः सस्त्रीधनार्भकाः । उपारतं वातवर्षं व्युदप्रायाश्च निम्नगाः

When the sky cleared, the sun shone, and the terrible wind and rain ceased, Govardhana's lifter spoke to the cowherds: "Go out, abandon your fear, O cowherds with your wives, wealth, and children; the wind and rain have stopped, and the rivers have receded."

ततस्ते निर्ययुर्गोपाः स्वं स्वमादाय गोधनम् । शकटोढोपकरणं स्त्रीबालस्थविराः शनैः

Then the cowherds went out, each taking their own cattle, carts, and belongings, along with women, children, and elders, moving slowly.

भगवानपि तं शैलं स्वस्थाने पूर्ववत्प्रभुः । पश्यतां सर्वभूतानां स्थापयामास लीलया

The Blessed Lord, too, placed the mountain back in its original place as before, in the sight of all living beings, doing so playfully.

( मिश्र ) तं प्रेमवेगान् निभृता व्रजौकसो यथा समीयुः परिरम्भणादिभिः । गोप्यश्च सस्नेहमपूजयन् मुदा दध्यक्षताद्‌भिर्युयुजुः सदाशिषः

With the force of their love, the residents of Vraja quietly approached him and embraced him and the like; the cowherd women, full of affection, worshipped him with joy, offered curds and unbroken rice, and bestowed their constant blessings.

( अनुष्टुप् ) यशोदा रोहिणी नन्दो रामश्च बलिनां वरः । कृष्णमालिङ्‌ग्य युयुजुः आशिषः स्नेहकातराः

Yaśodā, Rohiṇī, Nanda, and Rāma—the foremost among the strong—embraced Kṛṣṇa and, overcome with affection, offered him their heartfelt blessings.

दिवि देवगणाः सिद्धाः साध्या गन्धर्वचारणाः । तुष्टुवुर्मुमुचुस्तुष्टाः पुष्पवर्षाणि पार्थिव

In the heavens, the hosts of gods, Siddhas, Sādhyas, Gandharvas, and Cāraṇas, being pleased, praised him and joyfully showered a rain of flowers upon the earth.

शङ्‌खदुन्दुभयो नेदुर्दिवि देवप्रचोदिताः । जगुर्गन्धर्वपतयः तुंबुरुप्रमुखा नृप

Conches and kettledrums resounded in the sky, urged on by the gods; the lords of the Gandharvas, led by Tumburu, sang, O King.

( मिश्र ) ततोऽनुरक्तैः पशुपैः परिश्रितो राजन् स्वगोष्ठं सबलोऽव्रजद्धरिः । तथाविधान्यस्य कृतानि गोपिका गायन्त्य ईयुर्मुदिता हृदिस्पृशः

Then, surrounded by the loving cowherds, O King, Hari returned to his own cowherd settlement with Balarāma; the Gopīs, singing of his wondrous deeds, followed joyfully, their hearts deeply moved.

इति श्रीमद्‍भागवते महापुराणे पारमहंस्यां संहितायां दशमस्कन्धे पूर्वार्धे पञ्चविंशोऽध्यायः

Thus ends the twenty-fifth chapter of the first half of the tenth book in the Śrīmad Bhāgavata Mahāpurāṇa, the scripture for the supreme renunciates.

गुणसङ्गं विनिर्धूय मां भजन्तु विचक्षणाः। निःसङ्गो मां भजेद्विद्वानप्रमत्तो जितेन्द्रियः

Let the wise, having shaken off attachment to the qualities of nature, worship me; the learned, free from attachment, self-controlled and vigilant, should worship me.

रजस्तमश्चाभिजयेत्सत्त्वसंसेवया मुनिः। सत्त्वं चाभिजयेद्युक्तो नैरपेक्ष्येण शान्तधीः। सम्पद्यते गुणैर्मुक्तो जीवो जीवं विहाय माम्

A sage overcomes passion and darkness by cultivating goodness; and, being steadfast, he conquers even goodness by detachment and calm mind; thus, freed from the qualities, the soul attains me, leaving behind individual existence.

जीवो जीवविनिर्मुक्तो गुणैश्चाशयसम्भवैः। मयैव ब्रह्मणा पूर्णो न बहिर्नान्तरश्चरेत्

The soul, liberated from other souls and from desires born of the qualities, becomes complete in me, the Absolute; it moves neither outward nor inward.

अथो विभूतिं मम मायाविनस्तां ऐश्वर्यमष्टाङ्गमनुप्रवृत्तम् । श्रियं भागवतीं वास्पृहयन्ति भद्रां परस्य मे तेऽश्नुवते तु लोके

Therefore, those who know my power as the Lord of Māyā, endowed with eightfold sovereignty, do not covet even the blessed fortune of the goddess of prosperity; in this world, they attain my supreme state.

न कर्हिचिन्मत्पराः शान्तरूपे नङ्क्ष्यन्ति नो मेऽनिमिषो लेढि हेतिः । येषामहं प्रिय आत्मा सुतश्च सखा गुरुः सुहृदो दैवमिष्टम्

Those devoted to me, of peaceful nature, never perish; the weapon of Time does not touch them. For whom I am dear as the Self, as son, friend, teacher, well-wisher, and cherished deity.

इमं लोकं तथैव अमुं आत्मानं उभयायिनम् । आत्मानं अनु ये चेह ये रायः पशवो गृहाः

This world, the next, the soul that moves between both, and all that is considered one's own here—be it wealth, cattle, or homes—

विसृज्य सर्वान् अन्यांश्च मामेवं विश्वतोमुखम् । भजन्ति अनन्यया भक्त्या तान्मृत्योरतिपारये

Abandoning all others and worshipping me alone, the all-pervading, with exclusive devotion, I carry them beyond death.

नान्यत्र मद्‍भगवतः प्रधानपुरुषेश्वरात् । आत्मनः सर्वभूतानां भयं तीव्रं निवर्तते

Nowhere else but in me, the Supreme Lord of all beings and the master of primordial nature, is intense fear for the soul of all creatures dispelled.

मद्‍भयाद् वाति वातोऽयं सूर्यस्तपति मद्‍भयात् । वर्षतीन्द्रो दहत्यग्निः मृत्युश्चरति मद्‍भयात्

Out of fear of me, the wind blows, the sun shines, Indra sends rain, fire burns, and death moves about.

ज्ञानवैराग्ययुक्तेन भक्तियोगेन योगिनः । क्षेमाय पादमूलं मे प्रविशन्ति अकुतोभयम्

Yogis endowed with knowledge and renunciation, through the yoga of devotion, enter my feet, which are free from all fear, for their well-being.

एतावान् एव लोकेऽस्मिन् पुंसां निःश्रेयसोदयः । तीव्रेण भक्तियोगेन मनो मय्यर्पितं स्थिरम्

This alone, in this world, is the highest good for people: with intense devotion, to keep the mind steadily fixed on me.

सप्तोपरि कृता द्वारः पुरस्तस्यास्तु द्वे अधः । पृथग् विषयगत्यर्थं तस्यां यः कश्चनेश्वरः

Seven gates are made above, two in front, and two below; each for the movement of sense-objects, and within them dwells a certain lord, O King.

पञ्च द्वारस्तु पौरस्त्या दक्षिणैका तथोत्तरा । पश्चिमे द्वे अमूषां ते नामानि नृप वर्णये

Of these, five gates are to the east, one to the south, and one to the north; two are to the west. I shall now describe their names, O King.

खद्योताऽऽविर्मुखी च प्राग् द्वारावेकत्र निर्मिते । विभ्राजितं जनपदं याति ताभ्यां द्युमत्सखः

Like fireflies, two eastern gates were constructed together; through them, Dyumatsakha travels, illuminating the land.

नलिनी नालिनी च प्राग् द्वारौ एकत्र निर्मिते । अवधूतसखस्ताभ्यां विषयं याति सौरभम्

Two gates named Nalinī and Nālinī were built together in the east; through them, Avadhūtasakha enters the fragrant domain.

मुख्या नाम पुरस्ताद् द्वाः तयाऽऽपणबहूदनौ । विषयौ याति पुरराड् रसज्ञविपणान्वितः

A gate called Mukhyā stands at the front, with many shops and food boats; through it, the king of the city enters the realm, accompanied by merchants who know taste.

पितृहूर्नृप पुर्या द्वाः दक्षिणेन पुरञ्जनः । राष्ट्रं दक्षिणपञ्चालं याति श्रुतधरान्वितः

O king, through the southern gate named Pitṛhū, Purañjana enters the southern Pañcāla region, accompanied by those who carry knowledge.
