ततः स मुष्टिमुद्यम्य कृष्णं वक्षस्यताडयत् । तं जग्राह रणे वीरं निबध्य निबिडं हरिः
Then, raising his fist, he struck Krishna on the chest; but Hari seized that warrior on the battlefield, binding him tightly.
तीक्ष्णं क्षुरप्रमादाय प्रहसन्मधुसूदनः । शिरसो मुंडनं कृत्वा मुमोच च जनार्दनः
Madhusudana, smiling, took a sharp razor-edged weapon and, having shaved his head, Janardana released him.
स तु शोकसमाविष्टो निःश्वसन्नुरगो यथा । आविवेश पुरं स्वीयं स तु तत्रैव चावसत्
Overwhelmed by grief, sighing like a serpent, he entered his own city and remained there.
इति श्रीपाद्मे महापुराणे पंचपंचाशत्साहस्र्यां संहितायामुत्तरखंडे उमामहेश्वरसंवादे श्रीकृष्णचरिते विदर्भसेनाविध्वंसनंनाम सप्तचत्वारिंशदधिकद्विशततमोऽध्यायः
Thus ends the two hundred forty-seventh chapter, entitled 'The Rout of the Vidarbha Army,' in the dialogue between Uma and Maheshvara, concerning the deeds of Shri Krishna, in the Uttarakhanda of the glorious Padma Mahapurana, comprising fifty-five thousand verses.
रुद्र उवाच- अथ कृष्णस्तु रामेण रुक्मिण्या दारुकेण च । दिव्यं स्यंदनमारुह्य ययौ तूर्णं स्वमालयम्
Rudra said: Then Krishna, along with Rama, Rukmini, and Daruka, ascended the divine chariot and swiftly departed for his own abode.
ततः प्रविश्य नगरीं द्वारकां देवकीसुतः । शुभेह्रि शुभलग्ने वै वेदोक्तविधिना हरिः
Then, entering the city of Dvaraka, the son of Devaki, at an auspicious time and under favorable omens, Hari performed the rites prescribed by the Vedas.
उपयेमे नृपसुतां रुक्मिणीं रुक्मभूषिताम् । तस्मिन्नुद्वाहसमये देवदुंदुभयो दिवि
He married the princess Rukmini, adorned with gold; at that wedding, divine drums resounded in the heavens.
विनेदुः पुष्पवर्षाणि ववृषुः सुरसत्तमाः । वसुदेवोग्रसेनौ च तथाक्रूरो यदूत्तमः
The best of the gods showered flowers, and Vasudeva, Ugrasena, and likewise Akrura, the foremost of the Yadus,
बलभद्रो महातेजा ये चान्ये यदुपुंगवाः । चक्रुः कृष्णस्य रुक्मिण्या विवाहं सुसुखं यथा
Balabhadra, of great splendor, and the other eminent Yadus, all celebrated the marriage of Krishna and Rukmini with great joy.
नंदगोपोथ गोपालैर्गोपवृंदैः समागतः । स्वलंकृताभिर्योषाभिर्यशोदा च समागता
Nanda the cowherd, together with the cowherds and their wives, and Yashoda, adorned with fine ornaments, all assembled there.
वसुदेवस्त्रियः सर्वा देवकीप्रमुखास्तथा । रेवती रोहिणी देवी याश्चान्याः पुरयोषितः
All the wives of Vasudeva, led by Devaki, as well as Revati, Rohini, and the other women of the city, were present.
सर्वाण्युद्वाहकर्माणि चक्रुर्हर्षसमन्विताः । सुराणामर्चनं प्रीत्या कर्त्तव्यं तत्र देवकी
All performed the wedding rites with joy; Devaki, out of affection, performed the worship of the gods as was proper.
वृद्धाभिर्नृपयोषिद्भिश्चकार विधिना तदा । सर्वमौद्वाहिकं कर्म उत्सवं हि द्विजोत्तमैः
At that time, the elderly royal women, along with Devaki, performed all the wedding ceremonies according to the prescribed rites; the festival was celebrated by the foremost of the twice-born.
ब्राह्मणान्भोजयामास वस्त्रैराभरणैः शुभैः । उग्रसेनादयस्तत्र राजानश्च सुपूजिताः
Brahmins were fed and honored with fine garments and ornaments; Ugrasena and the other kings were also duly worshipped there.
नंदगोपादयो गोपा यशोदाद्याश्च योषितः । बहुभिः स्वर्णरत्नाद्यैर्वासोभिः सविभूषणैः
Nanda and the other cowherds, as well as Yashoda and the other women, were honored with many gifts of gold, jewels, garments, and ornaments.
पूजिताः संप्रहृष्टास्ते तद्विवाहमहोत्सवे । तौ दंपती समाश्लिष्य प्रणतौ जातवेदसम्
All those present were delighted and honored at that great wedding festival; the bride and groom embraced and bowed to the sacred fire.
वेदविद्भिर्विप्रमुख्यैराशीर्भिरभिनंदितौ । तस्यां विवाहवेद्यां तु शुशुभाते वधूवरौ
Blessed by the foremost Brahmins, learned in the Vedas, with their benedictions, the bride and groom shone upon the marriage altar.
ब्राह्मणेभ्योऽथ वृद्धेभ्यो राजन्यः सह भार्य्यया । ववंदे देवकीपुत्रो ज्येष्ठस्य भ्रातुरेव च
Then, the son of Devakī, together with his wife, bowed to the Brahmins and elders, and also to his eldest brother.
एवमौद्वाहिकं सर्वं निर्वर्त्य मधुसूदनः । व्यसर्जयन्नृपान्सर्वान्ये च तत्र समागताः
Thus, having completed all the marriage rites, Madhusūdana dismissed all the assembled kings and others present there.
प्रस्थिता हरिणा तत्र पूजिता नृपपुंगवाः । ब्राह्मणाः सुमहात्मानो निर्ययुः स्वकमालयम्
Honored by Hari, the foremost of kings departed, and the great-souled Brahmins returned to their own homes.
रुक्मिण्या सह धर्मात्मा देवकीनंदनोऽव्ययः । उवास सुसुखेनैव दिव्यहर्म्यतले शुभे
The righteous son of Devakī, imperishable, dwelt happily with Rukmiṇī on the splendid terrace of the divine mansion.
तया वै रमयामास नारायण इव श्रिया । संस्तूयमानो मुनिभिर्दिवि देवगणैरपि
With her, he delighted, like Nārāyaṇa with Śrī, praised by sages and even by the hosts of gods in heaven.
अहन्यहनि हृष्टात्मा सुखेनैव जनार्दनः । अथोवास सुशोभायां द्वारवत्यां सनातनः
Day after day, with a joyful heart, Janārdana, the eternal one, resided in the beautiful city of Dvāravatī in happiness.
इति श्रीपाद्मे महापुराणे पंचपंचाशत्साहस्र्यां संहितायामुत्तरखंडे उमामहेश्वरसंवादे श्रीकृष्णचरिते रुक्मिणीविवाहकथनंनाम अष्टाचत्वारिंशदधिकद्विशततमोऽध्यायः

श्रीरुद्र उवाच- सत्राजितस्य तनया नाम्ना सत्या यशस्विनी । पृथिव्यंशेन संभूता भार्यां कृष्णस्य वा परा
Śrī Rudra said: Satyā, the illustrious daughter of Satrājit, born as a portion of the earth, may be taken as Kṛṣṇa's wife or as another.
वैवस्वती महाभागा कालिंदी नाम नामतः । तृतीया तस्य भार्या सा लीलांशा समुपस्थिता
Vaivasvatī, greatly fortunate, known by the name Kāliṃdī, was his third wife, appearing as a portion of Līlā.
विंदानुविंदस्य सुतां मित्रविंदां शुचिस्मिताम् । स्वयंवरस्थितां कन्यामुपयेमे जनार्दनः
Janārdana married Mitraviṃdā, the daughter of Viṃda and Anuviṃda, pure-smiling, who stood in her own svayaṃvara.
पाशेनैकेन बद्ध्वा तान् वृषभान्सप्तदुर्मदान् । तां वीर्यशुल्कां जग्राह पद्मपत्रायतेक्षणः
Binding seven proud bulls with a single rope, he claimed her, whose bride-price was valor, she of lotus-petal eyes.
सत्राजितो महारत्नं स्यमंताख्यं महीपतिः । अनुजाय ददौ सोऽयं प्रसेनाय महात्मने
Satrājit, the king, possessed a great jewel called Syamantaka; he gave it to his younger brother Prasena, the great-souled.
ययाचे तं मणिवरं कदाचिन्मधुसूदनः । उवाच वासुदेवं तं प्रसेनः प्रसभं तदा
Once, Madhusūdana requested that excellent jewel; Prasena then spoke forcibly to Vāsudeva.
