27Surasena, lord of the Yadus, living in the city of Mathura, enjoyed of old the lands of the Mathuras and the Surasenas. 28From then on it was the seat of all the Yadava kings: Mathura, where the Bhagavan Hari is always present. 29There, at one time, Vasudeva, Sura's son, having been married, mounted his chariot for the journey with Devaki, his bride. 30Kamsa, son of Ugrasena, wishing to please his sister, took the reins of the horses, surrounded by hundreds of golden chariots. 31Four hundred elephants hung with gold as a wedding gift, and ten thousand horses, and eighteen hundred chariots, 32and two hundred serving girls, young and well adorned: these Devaka, who loved his daughter, gave to her as she went.
33Conches and trumpets and drums sounded together with kettledrums at the setting out of the journey, auspicious for the bridegroom and the bride.
