The Forty-fourth Chapter
The glorious son of Bhama, radiant like the orb of the sun, grew in majesty like the young sun. Nourished by that growing Bhanu, the mountain-like Mana (pride) of Satyabhama also increased. ¹
At another time, Narada said to Krishna, O Lord! From where have you come now, and what brings you such great joy? ³
He replied, In the southern range is the city of Jambupura, where lives the Vidyadhara named Jambuvant. His beloved is Shivacandra, and their son is the famous Vishvaksena. Their daughter is named Jambavati, who has come like the goddess Shri herself. ⁴-⁵
The maidens are leading Jambavati, who is resplendent like the graceful crescent moon, to bathe in the Ganga. She is stationed at the Ganga's bank, her full breasts concealed by her garments. She is like the river that flows from the Jambuvant mountain, unapproachable by others. ⁶-⁷
Hearing Narada's words, Krishna was kindled with affection and rose up, like fire blazing up with ghee. ⁸ Without delay, he went to that place, accompanied by the undefeated (Balarama). There he saw the maiden Jambavati, who had just begun her bathing sport. ⁹
Suddenly, the lotus-eyed Krishna caught sight of Jambavati. Then Cupid struck them both with his five arrows. ¹⁰ Krishna embraced the bashful-eyed Jambavati, whose beauty put Shri, Rati, and Hri to shame. ¹¹
