34And Ugrasena my father, an old man who still wants the kingdom, and his brother Devaka, and any others who hate me. 35Then this earth, friend, will have no thorn left in it. Jarasandha is my elder, Dvivida is my dear friend, 36and Sambara, Naraka and Bana have made their friendship with me and no one else. With them I will kill the kings who take the gods' side, and I will enjoy the earth. 37Knowing this, bring Rama and Krsna here quickly, the two boys, to look on at the sacrifice of the bow and to see the splendour of the Yadu city. 38King, your plan is well thought through, to wipe away what stands against you. Let a man hold success and failure alike, for it is fate that brings the fruit.
39A man builds his wishes high even when fate has already struck them down, and so he is met with gladness and with grief. Even so, I will do what you order. 40Having given Akrura this charge and let his ministers go, Kamsa went into his house, and Akrura went to his own home.
