1Suka said: Favoured in this way by Krsna, dear one, the son of Iksvaku's line walked round him and bowed to him and went out from the mouth of the cave. 2Seeing that men and beasts and creepers and trees had all grown small, he knew the Kali age had come, and he went to the northern quarter. 3Steady, with trust in austerity, holding to nothing, his doubts gone, setting his mind on Krsna, he went into Gandhamadana. 4He came to the hermitage of Badari, where Nara and Narayana live, and bearing every pair of opposites, at peace, he worshipped Hari with austerity.
