Having lifted the chariot with his hand, along with the horses and charioteer, Achyuta crossed the Ganga. As if it were a mere ankle-deep stream, he crossed it with his arm and two thighs. ||6||
Then, those who were astonished and delighted, approached him with joyful voices and good intentions. They were amazed by his power, and, overwhelmed with praise, embraced the son of Vasudeva. ||6||
Vansh-sthavritta, himself, made a joke, and then, the valiant Bhima, himself, spoke to the world-renowned Krishna. "This was just a joke," he said. "Krishna, you are becoming too detached. Jokes are not appropriate without regard for time and place." ||6||
"O despicable Pandavas," Krishna rebuked them, "I have performed many inhuman acts in this world, even in your presence. What is there in crossing this Ganga that could test my abilities?" ||7||
Having spoken thus to the Pandavas, Janardana, along with them, went to Hastinapur. He gave the kingdom to the son of Subhadra, Arya-sunu, and, in anger, dismissed the Pandavas. ||7||
Then, Krishna, accompanied by all his vassals and followers, who had welcomed him with great enthusiasm, entered the great city of Dwarka and delighted his group of wives. ||72||
Following the order of Krishna Chandra, who was as harsh as a thunderbolt, the Pandavas, along with their loyal followers, went to the south and established the city of Mathura there. ||73||
There, they enjoyed themselves on the beautiful shores of the ocean, filled with the fragrant air of cloves and black musk, and on the high peaks of the Malaya mountain, which perfumed the directions with the scent of sandalwood. ||74||
