## Chapter Forty-Four

Mahaseana, the brother of Lakshmana, approached Hari and bowed down. Honored by the honored one, he was released and went to the island of Sinhala. ||25||

There was a king named Rashtravardhana, the ruler of Surashtr. His city was Ajakhuri, and his queen was Vinaya, the best among women. ||26||

From queen Vinaya, a son named Namuchi was born, a repository of policy and valor. Similarly, there was a daughter named Susima, who seemed like the earth with excellent Soma. ||27||

Prince Namuchi was renowned for his valor throughout the earth. He was like a towering mountain of pride and constantly scorned honorable kings. ||28||

One day, Prince Namuchi and his sister Susima came to the seashore to bathe. The benevolent Narada informed Shri Krishna about them. ||29||

Upon receiving the news, Hari, along with Baldeva, went there and killed Namuchi on the banks of Prabhas Tirtha, where his army was stationed. He then abducted Susima and brought her to Dwaraka. ||30||

There, near Lakshmana's abode, he gave her a golden, excellent palace and enjoyed with her as he pleased. ||31||

After that, King Rashtravardhana, the father of Susima, also sent her the finest clothes and ornaments, and for Shri Krishna, he sent chariots, elephants, and other gifts. ||32||

At that time, in the city of Vitabhaya in the Sindhu region, there lived a king named Meru, a descendant of the Ikshvaku dynasty, who was increasing his lineage. He had a wife named Chandravati. ||33||

From her, a daughter named Gauri was born, who had a fair complexion. She was beautiful like the goddess Gauri, or like the earth devoid of thorns. ||34||

The wise ones had predicted that this girl would be the wife of the ninth Narayana, Shri Krishna. Remembering their words, King Meru first sent a messenger to Shri Krishna and then sent Gauri, who had eyes like a deer. ||35||

Shri Krishna married Gauri, who captivated his heart, and gave her a magnificent palace near Susima's abode. ||36||

At that time, Baldeva's maternal uncle, King Hiranyanaabha, ruled the city of Arishtpura. His wife, Shrikant, was a beautiful woman. ||37||
