[Antakrid Dasha
78]
While the white chamaras were being waved, Krishna Vasudeva, surrounded by a large crowd of soldiers and guards, set out from the middle of Dwaraka towards the place where the Arhat Arishthanemi was staying.
As he was leaving the middle of Dwaraka, Krishna Vasudeva saw a very old man, his body weakened by age, [extremely tired, withered, and weak], struggling to carry bricks from a large pile outside his house.
Krishna Vasudeva, out of compassion for the old man, picked up a brick from the pile while still seated on his elephant and carried it inside the house.
Seeing Krishna Vasudeva pick up a brick, many hundreds of men in the crowd carried the entire pile of bricks from the street into the house.
After that, on the next day, at dawn, when the sun rose [when the petals of the blooming lotuses opened, the eyes of the black deer, deprived of sleep, became wide open. Then the morning became pale white. The sun rose with a redness that surpassed the brilliance of the red Ashoka tree, the Palasha flower, the parrot's beak, the half of the Chirmi flower, the midday flower, the pigeon's feet and eyes, the Jasoda flower, the blazing fire, the golden pot, and the group of Hingula. The rays of the sun descended and began to destroy the darkness. The world seemed to be filled with saffron, like the young sun. The world, which had been awakened by the sight of the sun, became clearly visible. The sun, which caused the lotus forests in the lakes to bloom, shone brightly with its thousand rays. When this happened], Krishna Vasudeva, after bathing and adorning himself with clothes and ornaments, mounted his elephant. He wore a crown adorned with Korant flowers. White and bright chamaras were waved on his right and left. He set out for the place where the Lord Arishthanemi was staying.
Then, as Krishna Vasudeva was passing through the middle of Dwaraka, he saw a man who was very old, his body weakened by age, [extremely tired, withered, and weak], and exhausted. He was very sad. Outside his house, on the road, there was a large pile of bricks that the old man was carrying one by one into his house. Then Krishna Vasudeva, out of compassion for the man, picked up a brick while still seated on his elephant and carried it inside the house.
Then, when Krishna Vasudeva picked up a brick, (his followers) many hundreds of men carried the entire pile of bricks from the street into the house.
The Achievement of Gaja Sukumala
25 - Then Krishna Vasudeva left the middle of Dwaraka and went to where the Arhat Arishthanemi was staying. When he arrived, he [the Arhat Arishthanemi, with a joyful heart, welcomed him and] bowed and prostrated himself. After bowing and prostrating himself, he said:
"Tell me, Lord! My younger brother, Gaja Sukumala, who is adorned with ornaments, whom I bow to and prostrate myself to, what is his name?"
