Chapter Forty
All the Lokapalas are busy protecting it, who among humans in the lineage of the Tirthankara can harm it? ||12|| Who, being ignorant, would touch with his hand the blazing fire that consumes all? And who, desiring victory, would confront the Tirthankara, Balabhadra, and Krishna? ||13|| This king Jarasandha is the enemy of Narayana, and these Balabhadra and Narayana are surely born here. ||14|| Therefore, until this enemy-like moth, along with its wings (helpers, allies), is consumed by the fire of Krishna, we will quickly, after the war, take our seats elsewhere and bring the valiant Krishna to victory. At this time, it is appropriate for us to take refuge in the west and remain silent for a few days, for by doing so, the success of our work is certain. ||15-17|| We will remain silent in this way, but if Jarasandha confronts us, we will honor him with war and send him to Yama. ||18|| Having thus discussed, they revealed the plan in their fort and announced the departure with the sound of the conch. ||19|| Hearing the sound of the conch, the four-armed army of the Yadus and Bhojvanshis set out. ||20|| The people of Mathura, Shauryapur, and Veeryapur, with their love for their lord, also set out. ||21|| All the people of the four varnas, along with the righteous, considered this departure as if they were going for a forest outing from their place. ||22|| At that time, eighteen crore Yadus, filled with immeasurable wealth, left Shauryapur. ||23|| Having obtained auspicious tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and vara, those noble kings, with small encampments, were on their way. ||24|| After crossing countless countries, as they were going towards the west, the vast Vindhya mountain came near them, that is, as they were going gradually, they reached near the Vindhya mountain. ||25|| It was beautiful with forests of elephants, full of lions and tigers, and its sky-touching peaks delighted the minds of the people. ||26||
