यत्र साक्षाच्च यज्ञेशो यज्ञोऽयं दक्षिणा सह । बूर्णाहुतिं दत्तवन्तं वसुदेवमुवाच सः
There, where the Lord of sacrifice himself, along with the sacrificial fee, was present in the sacrifice, he spoke to Vasudeva, who had offered the full oblation.
सनत्कुमार उवाच सर्वस्वं दक्षिणां देहि तुर्णं लक्ष्मीपतेः पितः । सार्थकं कुरु कर्मेदं वेदोक्तं वचनं श्रुणु
Sanatkumāra said: Give the entire sacrificial fee quickly, O father of Lakṣmī's husband; make this act meaningful—hear the words spoken in the Veda.
दक्षिणां विप्रमुद्दिश्य तत्कालं चेन्न दीयते । मुहूर्ते तु व्यतीते सा दक्षिणा द्विगुणा भवेत्
If the sacrificial fee is not given to the brāhmaṇa at that very time, after a moment has passed, the fee becomes double.
वासरे च बहिर्भूते भवेत्साऽपि चतुर्गुणा । त्रिरात्रे समतीते षड्गुणा दक्षिणा भवेत्
If a whole day passes, it becomes fourfold; after three nights, the fee becomes six times greater.
पक्षान्ते तु शतगुणा मासान्ते तु चतुर्गुणा । षण्मासेऽप्यधिके न्यूने च साहस्त्रगुणा तथा
At the end of a fortnight, it becomes a hundredfold; at the end of a month, fourfold; if six months pass, whether more or less, it becomes a thousandfold.
वर्षान्ते सा लक्षगुणा ब्रह्मणोक्तं च याटव । उभौ च नरकं यांतः कर्मकर्तृपुरोहितौ
At the end of a year, it becomes a hundred thousand times greater, as stated by Brahmā; both the performer of the rite and the officiating priest go to hell.
वासुदैवश्च तच्छुत्वा सर्वस्वमुत्ससर्जं सः । अधिकारांश्च साह् लादो वासुदेवाज्ञया तथा
Having heard this, Vasudeva renounced all his possessions, and by the command of Vāsudeva, Ugrasena also relinquished his authorities.
अमूल्यानां च रत्नानां दशकोटिमनुत्तममा । ददौ गर्गाय सर्वादौ स्वयं लक्ष्मौपतेः पिता
The father of Lakshmi's lord gave to Garga, at the very beginning, ten crores of priceless jewels.

He gave sweet rice, cakes, delicious foods like nectar, auspicious sesame, and delightful sweet balls.
दध्नां मधूनां दुग्धानां गुडानां हविषामपि । कुल्यानां शतकं दत्त्वा परिहारं चकार सः
He gave curds, honey, milk, jaggery, and offerings of clarified butter, and by giving a hundred water channels, he made atonement.

He gave beautiful seats, pure white garments purified by fire, couches made of jewels, flowers, and fruits.
प्रददौ ब्राह्मणेभ्यश्च प्रफुल्लवदनेक्षणः । देवांश्च भोजयामास ब्राह्मणानां मुखैः सुभैः
With a blooming face, he gave these to the Brahmins, and he fed the gods through the mouths of the excellent Brahmins.
देवाश्च मुनयो रात्रौ स्वरामाभिश्चरेमिरे । प्रभाते प्रययुः सर्वे श्रीकृष्णानुमतेन च
At night, the gods and sages wandered with their celestial wives, and in the morning, all departed with the approval of Shri Krishna.
वादवाः प्रययुः सर्वेद्वारकां कृष्णपालिताम् । अमूल्यरात्नबूर्णां च रुक्मिणीदर्शनेन च
All the horses went to Dvārakā, protected by Krishna, filled with priceless jewels, and with the sight of Rukmini.
इति श्री ब्रह्मo महाo श्रीकृष्णजन्मखo उत्तo नारादनाo पञ्चविंशत्यधिकशततमोऽऽध्यायः
Thus ends the one hundred twenty-fifth chapter, entitled 'The Supreme Birth of Shri Krishna,' in the great Brahma Purana, as narrated by Narada.
अथ षड्विंशत्यधिकशततमोऽध्यायः नारायण उवाच गणेशपूजनं कृत्वा माधवो यादवैः सह । देवैर्मुनिभिरन्यैश्च देवीभिः सह नारद
Now, the one hundred twenty-sixth chapter. Narayana said: Having worshipped Ganesha, Madhava, together with the Yadavas, the gods, sages, and other deities with their consorts, O Narada—
अंशेन देवो देवीभी रुक्मिण्याद्याभिरेव च । प्रययौ द्वारकां रम्यां तस्थौ सिद्धाश्रमे स्वयम्
The god, along with the goddesses, and especially with Rukmini and the others, went to the beautiful Dvārakā and stayed himself in the hermitage of the perfected ones.
कृत्वा सुप्रीतिसंभाषां सार्धगोलोकवासिभिः । गोपैः सुहृद्भिर्नन्देन मात्रा गोप्या यशोदया
Having exchanged words of great affection with the residents of Goloka, with the cowherds, friends, Nanda, his mother, the cowherdess Yashoda—
उवाच मातरं तातं सुनीतं च चथोचितम् । गोपांश्च गोकुलस्थांश्च बन्धुवर्गाश्च सांप्रतम्
He addressed his mother, father, Sunīta, and others as appropriate, as well as the cowherds residing in Gokula and all the relatives present.
श्रीभगवानुवाच गच्छ नन्दव्रजं नन्द हे तात प्राणवल्ल्भ । मातर्यशोदे त्वमपि परमार्थे यशस्विनि
The Blessed Lord said: Go to Nanda's settlement, O Nanda, beloved father; and you too, illustrious mother Yaśodā, in the truest sense.
