[Third Chapter]
After that, when Krishna-Vasudeva and the parents were unable to convince Gaja-sukumala Kumar with many favorable and affectionate arguments, they became disappointed and spoke to him in this way:
"If this is the case, then O son! We wish to see your royal glory (splendor of royal magnificence) for just one day. Therefore, at least for one day, accept the royal fortune." Then Gaja-sukumala Kumar remained silent, following the wishes of Vasudeva Krishna and his parents.
After this, Gaja-sukumala's father called the family members and said: [Devanupriyo! Quickly sprinkle water inside and outside this Dwarka city. Clean the ground by sweeping and dusting, etc., as mentioned in the relevant sutra, and carry out the work accordingly.] After that, he told the servants: Devanupriyo! Quickly make preparations for Gaja-sukumala Kumar's grand, valuable, worthy (worthy of great men) and abundant coronation. The servants carried out the work as instructed and reported back. After this, Gaja-sukumala's parents seated him on a fine throne facing east and performed his coronation with one hundred and eight golden pots, according to the Rajaprashniya sutra, and with one hundred and eight earthen pots, using the words "Sarvariddhi" and "Yavat Mahashabda." After the coronation, they joined their hands and praised him with the words "Yavat Jay-Vijay." After praising him, they said: "O son! What shall we give you? What shall we do for you? What is your desire?" Then Gaja-sukumala said: "O parents! I want to have the Rajo-haran and the Patra brought from the Kutrikapan (Ku meaning earth, Trik meaning three, Apan meaning shop. A divinely appointed place where things from the three worlds of heaven, earth, and hell are found), and I want to call the barber." Then Gaja-sukumala's father called the family members and said: "Devanupriyo! Quickly bring out three lakh sonayas from the treasury. Give two lakh sonayas to bring the Rajo-haran and the Patra from the Kutrikapan, and give one lakh sonayas to call the barber." Hearing the above order, the servants, happy and pleased, joined their hands, accepted their master's words, and brought out three lakh gold coins from the treasury, brought the Rajo-haran and the Patra from the Kutrikapan, and called the barber.
The barber was very happy when he was called by Gaja-sukumala's father's servants. He bathed, adorned his body, and then went to Gaja-sukumala's father, praised him with the words "Jay-Vijay," and said: "Devanupriya! Tell me what I can do for you." Gaja-sukumala's father said to the barber: "Devanupriya! Cut Gaja-sukumala Kumar's forelock very carefully, leaving four fingers long, so that it can be removed." Hearing the order of Gaja-sukumala's father, the barber was very happy and joined his hands, saying: "Swamin! As you command." Saying this, he humbly accepted his words. Then he washed his hands and feet with fragrant water, tied his mouth with a pure cloth of eight stripes, and then very carefully cut Gaja-sukumala Kumar's hair, leaving four fingers of forelock for removal, and cut the rest of the hair.
After that, Gaja-sukumala's mother took those forelocks in a white cloth like a swan. She washed them with fragrant water, worshipped them with the best and chief fragrances and garlands, tied them in a pure cloth, and placed them in a jewel casket. After this, Gaja-sukumala Kumar's mother, weeping with grief over the separation from her son, ...
