चिरं नष्टेन पुत्रेण संयुक्तां प्रेक्ष्य रुक्मिणीम् । अवाप विस्मयं सर्व्वो द्रारवत्यां जनस्तदा ।। ५-२७-
Seeing Rukmiṇī reunited with her long-lost son, all the people of Dvārakā were struck with wonder.
चारुदेष्णां सुदेष्णञ्च चारुदेवञ्च वीर्य्यवान् । सुषेणं चारुगुप्तञ्च भद्रचारु तथापरम् ।। ५-२८-
Cārudeṣṇa, Sudeṣṇa, Cārudeva, the mighty one, Suṣeṇa, Cārugupta, and another, Bhadracāru.
चारुविन्दं सुचारुञ्च चारुञ्च बलिनां वरम् । रुक्मिण्यजनयत् पुत्रान् कन्यां चारुमतीं तथा ।। ५-२८-
Rukmini bore sons—Caruvinda, Sucaru, Caru, and the mighty Caruvarya—and also a daughter named Carumati.
अन्याश्व भार्य्याः कृष्णस्य बभूवुः स्प्त शोभनाः । कालिन्दी मित्रविन्दा च सत्या नाग्रजिती तथा ।। ५-२८-
Krishna had other illustrious wives: Kalindi, Mitravinda, Satyā the daughter of Nagnajit, and others.
देवी जाम्बवती चापि रोहिणी कामरूपिणी । मद्रराजसुता चान्या सुशीला शीलभण्डना ।। ५-२८-
There was also the goddess Jambavati, Rohini of changing form, the princess of Madra, Sushila, and Shilabhandana.
सात्राजिती सत्यभीमा लक्ष्णा चारुहासिनी । षोड़शासन सहस्त्राणि स्त्रीणामन्यानि चक्रिणः ।। ५-२८-
Satyabhama, daughter of Satrajit, Lakshmana with the lovely smile, and sixteen thousand other wives belonged to the wielder of the discus.
प्रद्यु म्रोऽपि महावीर्य्यो रुक्मिणस्तनयां शुभाम् । स्वयंवरस्थां जग्राह सा च तं तनय हरेः ।। ५-२८-
Pradyumna, of great valor, took as his wife the auspicious daughter of Rukmi, who was at her own svayamvara; she bore him a son of Hari.
यस्यामस्याभवत् पुत्रो महाबलपराक्रमः । अनिरुद्धो रणो क्रे द्धो वीर्य्योदधिररिन्दमः ।। ५-२८-
To her was born a son, Aniruddha, of immense strength and prowess, a subduer of enemies and an ocean of heroism.
तस्यापि रुक्मिणः पौत्रीं वरयामास केशवः । दौहित्राय ददौ रुक्मी तां स्पर्द्धन्नपि शौरिणा ।। ५-२८-
For him, Kesava sought the granddaughter of Rukmi; though Rukmi competed with Sauri, he gave her to his daughter's son.
तस्या विवाहे रामाद्या यादवा हरिणा सह । रुक्मिणो नगरं जग्मुर्नाम्रा भोजकटं द्रिज ।। ५-२८-
At that wedding, Rama and the other Yadavas, together with Hari, went to Rukmi's city, named Bhojakata, O Brahmin.
विवाहे तत्र निवृत्ते प्राद्यूम्नेः सुमहात्मनः । कलिङ्गराजप्रमुखा रुक्मिणां वाक्यमब्रु वन् ।। ५-२८-
When the wedding of the great-souled Pradyumna was completed, the kings led by the ruler of Kalinga spoke to Rukmi.
अनक्षज्ञो हली द्यूते तथास्य व्यसनं महत् । न जयामो बलं कस्मादू द्यूतेनैनं महाद्युते ।। ५-२८-
"Halayudha is unskilled at dice, and he has a great weakness for it; why should we not defeat him at this great game of dice?"
तथेति तानाह नृपान् रुक्मी बलसमन्वितः । सभायां सह रामेण चक्र द्रू तञ्च वै तदा ।। ५-२८-
Rukmi, endowed with strength, agreed and said so to the kings; then, together with Rama, he set up the dice game in the assembly.
सहस्त्रमेकं निष्काणां रुक्मिणा विजितो बलः । द्रितीयेऽपि पणे चान्यत् सहस्त्र रुक्मिणा जितम् ।। ५-२८-
In the first wager, Bala was defeated by Rukmi for a thousand gold coins; in the second wager, Rukmi again won another thousand.
ततो दश सहस्त्राणि निष्काणां पणमाददे । बलभद्रोऽजयत्तानि रुक्मी द्यूतविदां वरः ।। ५-२८-
Then, staking ten thousand gold coins, Balabhadra won them, though Rukmi was the foremost among dice players.
ततो जहास खनवत् कलिङ्गाधिपतिर्द्रिज! दन्तान् विदर्शयन् मूढ़ो रुक्मी चाह मदोद्धतः ।। ५-२८-
Then, O Brahmin, the foolish king of Kalinga laughed loudly, showing his teeth, and Rukmi, intoxicated with pride, spoke.
ग्रविज्ञोऽयं मया द्यूते बलदेवः पराजितः । मुधैवाक्षावलेपान्धो यः स्वं मेनेऽक्षकाविदम् ।। ५-२८-
"This Baladeva, though skilled at dice, has been defeated by me; blinded by his vain pride in the dice, he thought himself a master."
दृष्टा कलिङ्गराजं तं प्रकाशदशनाननम् । रुक्मिणञ्चपि दुव्वक्यिं कोपं चक्र हलायुधः ।। ५-२८-
Seeing the king of Kalinga with his mouth wide open, displaying his teeth, and hearing Rukmi's harsh words, Halayudha grew angry.
ग्लहं जग्राह रुक्मी च तदर्थेऽक्षानपातयत् ।। ५-२८-
Rukmi seized the dice and, for that purpose, cast them down.
अजयद् बलदेवस्तं प्राहोच्चैस्तं जितं मया । मयेति रुक्मी प्राहोच्चैरलीकोक्तेरलं बल ।। ५-२८-
Baladeva defeated him and proclaimed loudly, "I have won!" Rukmi, in turn, shouted, "No, I have won!" thus contradicting Bala.
त्वयोक्तोऽ.यं ग्लहः सत्यं न ममैषोऽनुमोदितः । एवं त्वया चेदू विजितं मया न विजितं कथम् ।। ५-२८-
This contest was declared by you, and it is true, but I did not consent to it; if you have won in this way, then how is it that I have not won?
अथान्तरिक्षे वागुच्चैः प्राह गम्भीरनादिनी । बलदेवस्य तदूकोपं वर्द्धयन्ती महात्मनः ।। ५-२८-
Then, in the sky, a voice resounded with a deep sound, increasing the great anger of Baladeva.
जितं बलेन धर्म्मेण रुक्मिणो भाषितं मृषा । अनुक्त्वापि वचः किञ्चित् कृतं भवति कर्म्मा ।। ५-२८-
Victory was achieved by Bala through righteousness; Rukmi's words are false. Even without speaking anything, an action is accomplished.
ततो बलः समुत्थाय कोपसंरक्तलोचनः । जघानाष्टापदेनैव रुक्मिणं सुमहाबलः ।। ५-२८-
Then Bala, his eyes red with anger, rose up and, being immensely strong, struck down Rukmi with the chessboard itself.
कलिङ्गराजञ्चादाय विस्फुरन्तं बलाद बलः । वभञ्च दन्तान् कुपितो यैः प्रकाशं जहास सः ।। ५-२८-
Seizing the king of Kalinga, who was trembling with fear, Bala, enraged, broke his teeth—those with which he had openly laughed.
आकृष्य च महास्तम्भं जातरूपमयं बलः । जघान येऽन्ये तत्पक्षा बूभृतः कुपितो बलात ।। ५-२८-
And Bala, in his fury, seized a great golden pillar and struck down the other kings who were on that side.
ततो हाहाकृतं सर्व्वं पलायनपरं द्रिज! तद्राजमणडलं भीतं बभूव कुपिते बले ।। ५-२८-
Then, O twice-born one, all the royal assembly, terrified by Bala's wrath, cried out in distress and fled.
बलेन निहतं श्रुत्वा रुक्मिणं मधुसूदनः । नोवाच किञ्चिन्मैत्रेय!रुक्मिणी-बलयोर्भयात् ।। ५-२८-
Hearing that Rukmi had been slain by Bala, Madhusudana, out of fear for Rukmini and Bala, said nothing, O Maitreya.
द्वारवत्यां स्थिते कृष्णे शक्रस्त्रिभुवनेश्वरः । आजगामाथ मैत्रेय मत्तैरावतपृष्ठगः ॥ ५,२९.
While Krishna was staying in Dvaravati, Indra, the lord of the three worlds, arrived, seated on the intoxicated Airavata.
प्रविश्य द्वारकां सोऽथ समेत्य हरिणा ततः । कथयामास दैत्यस्य नरकस्य विचोष्टितम् ॥ ५,२९.
Entering Dvaraka and meeting with Hari, he then spoke about the misdeeds committed by the demon Naraka.
