स्वखड्गेनैव कृष्णांश शिरस्तव हराम्यहम् इत्युक्त्वा खड्गमादाय ययौ शीघ्रं रुषान्वितः
"With my own sword, O Krishna's portion, I shall take your head," he said, and, seizing his sword, went forth swiftly, filled with anger.
बलखानिस्तु तं ज्ञात्वा त्यक्त्वास्त्रं प्रेमकातरः 3.3.19.
But Balakhani, recognizing him, out of love abandoned his weapon.
हे इन्दुल महाभाग पितृमातृयशस्कर

"I am he, pure from birth, who brings joy to my father."
पद्मिन्या जनितं मोहं गृहीत्वा ज्ञातवान्न हि
"Having accepted the delusion born of the lotus-lady, I did not know."
इत्युक्त्वा स पुनर्बालो रुरोद स्नेहकातरः
Having spoken thus, the boy again wept, overwhelmed by affection.
इति श्रुत्वा वचस्तस्य कृष्णांशो वचनं शिशोः उत्सवं कारयामास तत्र देशे जनेजने
Hearing the child's words, Krishna's portion arranged a festival in that land for all the people.
