"Are you being deluded by the thought that you are without kin because the lineage of Bhojaraja and the Yadavas have perished?" Why are you so confused? If you and I are alive, then know that all our kin are alive. (24) You have looked at me with unwavering eyes in many past lives and in this life as well. You have never been satisfied, so how can you be satisfied today? (25) Alas! Driven by delusion, I left you alone to fetch water and in my absence, I caused the theft of the jewel of the world, the human gem. Who could have stolen it while I was with you? (26) Oh brother! You were like a thunderbolt to destroy the mountain of Kansa's anger and pride. You were like Garuda to destroy the demons and the Vidyaadharas. You were like a drinker of the ocean of Jarasandha's fame. But alas, you have drowned in this cow-dung. (27) See, O Narayana, the sun, like you, with its fierce brilliance, destroys the darkness of night, which is like an enemy, and burns the world. Now it is setting in the west. (28) Seeing you, both of you, immersed in sleep, the sun, as if in sorrow, has drawn back its rays, like hands, from other places and placed them on the head of the setting sun. And it seems as if it is mourning for you. Indeed, this sleep of yours, for whom is it not a cause for sorrow in the three worlds? (29) The sun, drunk with the wine of the west, is setting, and the group of swans, with tearful eyes, are lamenting its fate. It is right that it should fall, for who does not fall who is a lover of wine? (30) Or perhaps the sun, having cast off the burden of sorrow, is now immersing itself in the ocean. It seems as if it wants to give you a libation of water. Time, the knower of all, is doing what is right. (31)
Ha! (23)
