Verse 6

¹Hearing Vaidarbhi's message, the delight of the Yadus took the brahmin's hand in his own and, laughing, said this. ²Bhagavan said: My mind too is on her, and I get no sleep at night. I know that Rukmi out of hatred has blocked my marriage. ³I will bring her here, crushing those base princes in battle, she who is set on me and whose limbs are past finding fault with, as a tongue of fire is lifted out of the kindling. ⁴Knowing the star under which Rukmini's wedding fell, the slayer of Madhu said to his charioteer: Daruka, have the chariot yoked at once. ⁵And he brought up the chariot yoked with the horses Saibya, Sugriva, Meghapuspa and Balahaka, and stood before him with his palms joined.

⁶Mounting the chariot, the son of Sura took the brahmin up beside him, and with swift horses came from Anarta to Vidarbha in a single night.
