## Chapter Sixty-Two
The shade of this tree is cool, sit here. I will bring you cool water from the lake. ||25||
Saying this, Balarama, holding his younger brother Krishna in his heart, went to fetch water, not thinking of his own fatigue. ||26||
Krishna, as instructed, went to the shade of the tree and lay down on the soft earth, his body covered with a fine garment. ||27||
In the dense forest, he rested for a moment, placing his right foot on his left knee, to relieve his fatigue. ||28||
Jarasandha's son, a lover of hunting, was wandering alone in the forest and by chance came to that very spot. ||29||
It was fate that brought him there, for he, who had left Dwaraka out of love for Krishna and to protect his life, had entered the forest like a deer. ||30||
He saw something indistinct in the distance, his bow in hand. ||31||
Thinking that the movement was the ear of a sleeping deer, he mistook it for the wind blowing against Krishna's garment. ||32||
His body hidden in the bushes, his mind like a hunter's, he drew his bow with great force and pierced Krishna's foot with a sharp arrow. ||33||
Krishna, his foot pierced, rose up suddenly and looked in all directions. Seeing no one, he cried out in a loud voice, "Who has pierced my foot? Let him reveal his lineage and name clearly." ||34-35||
"I have never slain a man in battle whose lineage and name were unknown. What misfortune has befallen me today?" ||36||
"Tell me, who are you, with your unknown lineage and unknown animosity? Who has become my slayer in this forest?" ||37||
