प्राणाधिष्ठातुदेवी सा पञ्चप्राणाधिका सती । रुक्मिणी कमला साक्षात्संपदामधिदेवता
She, Sati, is the presiding goddess of life, surpassing the five vital airs; Rukmini is Kamala herself, the presiding deity of all prosperity.
सर्वशक्तिस्वरूपा च कृष्णस्य परमात्मनः । बुद्धेरप्यधिदेवी च दुर्गा नारायणी परा
She is the embodiment of all powers of Krishna, the Supreme Soul; Durga, the supreme Narayani, is also the presiding goddess of intellect.
देवाधिष्ठातृदेवी त्वं सावित्री वेदमातृका । विद्याधिदेवताऽहं च ततोऽन्याश्च कलाकलाः
You are the goddess who presides over the gods, Sāvitrī, mother of the Vedas; I am the deity of knowledge, and then there are other portions and aspects.
न ब्रह्मणि शिवे शेषे गणेशे च दिनेश्वरे । न भक्तेषु च पद्मायां न शिवायां च मय्यपि
Such grace as is found in her is not present in Brahmā, Śiva, Śeṣa, Gaṇeśa, the sun, nor in the devotees, nor in Padmā, nor in Śivā, nor even in me.
प्रसादो यादृशस्तस्यामन्येषु च न तादृशः । त्रैलोक्ये पृथिवी धन्या सुपुण्यं भारतं यतः
The favor that is in her is not found in others; among the three worlds, the earth is blessed, for the land of Bhārata is supremely holy.
तत्र वृन्दावनं धन्यं राधापादाब्जचिह्नितम् । सर्वासामपि देवीनां राधा पुण्यवती सती
There, Vṛndāvana is blessed, marked by the lotus feet of Rādhā; among all goddesses, Rādhā is the most virtuous and chaste.
राधापादाब्जनखरे ददौ स्निग्धमलक्तकम् । अयमेवमिति श्रुत्वा जहसुः सर्वयोषितः
With the nail of Rādhā’s lotus foot, she applied tender red dye; hearing this, all the women laughed.
ध्यायन्ते दूर्तः सर्वा राधा वक्षःस्थलस्थिता । तस्माद्राधां नमस्कृत्य तुलनां मन्यते किल
All the women, their minds absorbed, meditate on Rādhā, who dwells upon the chest; therefore, after bowing to Rādhā, they consider her incomparable.
सरस्वतीवचः श्रुत्वा सावित्री पार्वती सती । अन्याश्च योषितः सर्वाः साध्वित्यूचुश्च संसदि
Hearing the words of Sarasvatī, Sāvitrī, Pārvatī, Satī, and all the other women said, 'Well spoken!' in the assembly.
लोपामुद्राऽनसूया चाप्यहल्याऽरुन्धती तथा । सर्वास्ता मुनिपत्न्यश्च रभसं चक्रुरीश्वरम्
Lopāmudrā, Anasūyā, Ahalyā, Arundhatī, and all the wives of the sages eagerly honored the Lord.
अथ देवांश्च भूपांश्च मुनीद्रांश्चापि भीष्मकः । पूजयामास विधिना भोजयामास सादरम्
Then Bhīṣmaka duly worshipped the gods, kings, and foremost sages, and respectfully offered them food.
खाद्यतां लोका दीयतां दीयतामिति । शब्दो बभूव नगरे वाद्यसंगीतमङ्गलैः
‘Let the people eat! Let it be given! Let it be given!’—such was the sound in the city, with auspicious music and songs.
अथ प्रभाते ब्रह्मेशसेषास्त्रिदशास्तथा । यानमारोहणं भूपाश्चक्रिरे च त्वरान्विताः
Then, in the morning, Brahmā, Īśa, Śeṣa, and the other gods, as well as the kings, quickly mounted their vehicles.

King Mahāugrasena and Vasudeva, with haste, arranged the departure of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and the virtuous Rukmiṇī.
सुभद्रा रुक्मिणीमाता कन्यां कृत्वा स्ववक्षसि । रुरोदोच्चैस्तत्सखीभिर्बान्धवैरित्युवाच सा
Subhadrā, mother of Rukmiṇī, took her daughter to her own breast and wept loudly, and with her friends and relatives, she spoke.
सुभद्रोवाच क्व यासि मां परित्यज्य वत्से मातरमीश्वरीम् । कथं जीवामि त्वां त्यक्त्वा कथं त्वं वाऽपि जीवसि
Subhadrā said: 'Where are you going, leaving me, your mother, O dear one? How will I live, having abandoned you, or how will you live without me?'
महालक्ष्मीर्मम गृहात्कन्यारूपा च मायया । वसुदेवालयं यासि वासुदेवप्रिया सतीः
'Mahālakṣmī, in the form of my daughter by her own power, you go from my house to the abode of Vasudeva, beloved of Vāsudeva, O virtuous one.'
इत्युक्त्वा कन्यकां शोकात्सिषेव नेत्रजैर्जलैः । भीष्मकः साश्रुनेत्रश्च कन्यां कृष्णे समर्प्य च
Having spoken thus, out of sorrow, she bathed her daughter with tears from her eyes; Bhīṣmaka, his eyes filled with tears, gave his daughter to Kṛṣṇa.
तं च कृत्वा परीहारं रुरोदोच्चैरतीव सः । रुरोद रुक्मिणी देवी श्रीकृष्णश्चापि मायया
Having performed the formal giving away, he wept loudly and exceedingly; the goddess Rukmiṇī also wept, and so did Śrī Kṛṣṇa, by his own power.
रथमारोपयामास वसुदेवः सुतं वधूम् । एतस्मिन्नन्तरे राजा जामात्रे यौतुकं ददौ
Vasudeva placed his son and the bride upon the chariot; meanwhile, the king gave wedding gifts to his son-in-law.

A thousand elephants, six times as many horses, a thousand maidservants, and a hundred times a hundred male attendants.
रत्नानां च सहस्रं चैवामुल्यरत्नभूषणम् । स्वर्णानां परिशुद्धानां पञ्चलक्षं च सादरम
A thousand jewels, priceless jeweled ornaments, and with respect, five hundred thousand pieces of pure gold.
तोयभोजनपात्राणि कुतानि विश्वकर्मणा । सौवर्णानि च रम्याणि सुरभीः प्रददौ मुदा
Beautiful golden vessels for water, food, and drink, crafted by Viśvakarman, and Surabhī joyfully gave them.

वसुदेवश्चोग्रसेनो देवैश्च मुनीभिः सह । प्रहृष्टवदनः शीघ्रं द्वारकाभिसुखं ययौ
Vasudeva, Ugrasena, along with the gods and sages, with joyful faces, quickly returned happily to Dvārakā.
प्रविश्य स्वपुरीं रम्या कारयामास मङ्गलम् । वाद्यं च वादयामास सुन्दरं सुमनोहरम्
Entering his beautiful city, he arranged for auspicious ceremonies and had delightful, enchanting music played.
देवकी रोहिणी रम्या यशोदा नन्दगेहिनी । अदितिश्च दितिश्चैव तथा च वरकामिनी
Devakī, the lovely Rohiṇī, Yaśodā, the wife of Nanda, Aditi, Diti, and the noble bride as well.

Beholding the beautiful Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī again and again, they brought them into the house and arranged auspicious rites.
चतुर्विधं भोजयित्वा देवांश्च मुनिपुंगवान् । नृपांश्च बान्धवांश्चैव परीहारं चकार च
Having fed the gods, the foremost sages, the kings, and relatives with four kinds of food, he offered them gifts as well.

He gladly gave jewels and other gifts to the priests and brāhmaṇas, and fed them until they were satisfied and smiling.
