Verse 36

³⁶And Mukunda, his force unhurt, having crossed that sea of an enemy army, was showered with flowers and cheered by the thirty gods. ³⁷The people of Mathura came out to meet him, their fever gone and their hearts glad, and his victory was sung by bards and heralds and men who chant praise. ³⁸Conches and kettledrums sounded, and drums and trumpets by the score, lutes and flutes and tabors, as the lord came into the city: ³⁹its roads watered, its people delighted, decked out with banners, ringing with the sound of the Veda, its arches bound with wreaths for the festival. ⁴⁰The women covered him over with garlands and curds and unhusked grain and fresh shoots, and he was looked at with love by eyes wide open with delight.

⁴¹The endless wealth that had come to hand in the fighting, and the ornaments of the heroes, all of it brought in, the lord handed over to the Yadu king.
