In a vivid dream, the goddess herself appeared to Lakṣaṇa and spoke to her, instructing, “Chant the mantra hrīṃ phaṭ gheghe.” Understanding the import of this divine message, the heroic Lakṣaṇa began to recite that sacred mantra with devotion. Soon after, Tālana, joined by Lakṣaṇa and another companion, set out for Kalyakubja. Fully aware of their purpose, they assumed powerful yogic forms for their journey. Dhānyapāla carried with him a bronze vessel, while Tālana bore a vīṇā, the melodic instrument. In these yogic forms, the group entered the assembly of Parimala. At that very moment, the king, pleased and in high spirits, adorned himself by placing a pearl necklace around his neck. Filled with delight, the entire company set forth toward Kṛṣṇāṃśa; the valiant hero, along with Tālana and the others, journeyed onward to Bindugaḍha. There, in the bustling marketplace, they organized an auspicious festival of dance. As the festivities unfolded, all the women gathered there were so entranced by the hero’s singing that they became stupefied, surrendering their wealth in a state of enchantment. Amidst this celebration, a woman of lotus-like beauty and all auspicious marks cried out, saying, “My husband Lakṣaṇa is strong; I am but a woman, and you are a yogin—how will this matter ever be resolved?” Hearing her words, the king quickly raised his arm, strode to the royal gate, and there, Kṛṣṇāṃśa began to dance. The mighty king of the earth watched, pleased by this playful display. When the king spoke, Kṛṣṇāṃśa laughed and replied, “Reveal your true self at once, O best of kings.” But, hearing these words, the king became deluded by the wondrous play of Krishna. Meanwhile, all those yogis reached the great city. The king assembled his army, and by his command, Ahlada did the same. Seven lakhs of Talanas were summoned; they arrived, fully armed, and came to Delhi. At this time, the wise minister Chadrabhatta approached the king and spoke respectfully: “Hear me, O lord!” There, Udaya, a portion of Krishna himself, approached the supreme Brahman. “Today, for the destruction of the Agni lineage, I will go to Delhi,” he declared. “Again, I will return to you and play in secret, for thus I have seen, O king, the Krishna portion in yogic sleep.” The king, astonished by these words, gave them a sign and spoke: “Go to Padmakara, the king, and quickly deliver the sign.” Upon hearing this, all the mighty warriors of the Agni lineage responded, with Bhagadamta leading thousands. “O king, Padmini is my sister, skilled in secret knowledge,” he said. By his grace, a beautiful boon was granted—the supreme power of disappearance. Hearing of this, the king was filled with supreme joy. Meanwhile, the mighty ones led by Krishna’s portion arrived. The king of the earth gathered many ornaments. He then declared, “The king named Lakṣaṇa is not in my prison.” Having spoken thus, he revealed that portion of Krishna to the household. Believing the king’s words, the one addressed became deeply distressed. As news of Krishna’s arrival spread, Kamapala—strong but fearful—approached with joined palms and, bowing down, spoke: “My daughter is a lotus-faced woman, adorned with all auspicious marks.” Hearing this, Krishna’s portion, together with his forces, replied, “O king, your brother bears the marks of Padmī. I do not know where the king, who is dearer to me than my own life, has gone on this earth.” In great sorrow, Krishna’s portion, beloved of the Vaishnavas, cried out, “Alas, O son of Ratnabhānu, devotee of Vishnu, bestower of auspiciousness—” and, overcome with emotion, he fainted.
