Verse 16

¹¹As Govinda was thinking so, two chariots with the splendour of the sun came at once out of the sky, with their drivers and their gear, ¹²and the ancient heavenly weapons, of their own accord. Seeing them, the lord of the senses said to Sankarsana: ¹³Look, noble one, at the trouble that has come to the Yadus, who are in your keeping, lord. Here is your chariot come, and the weapons you love. ¹⁴Mount and kill this force; lift our own people out of their trouble. This is what our birth is for, Lord: to make things well for the good. ¹⁵Take off the earth this weight that goes by the name of twenty-three armies. Having taken counsel so, the two men of the Dasarhas, armoured, on their chariots,

¹⁶went out from the city, rich in their own weapons, with only a small force about them; and coming out, Hari, with Daruka driving him, blew his conch.
