Verse 18

¹³One day Prasena tied that jewel of great brightness at his throat, mounted a horse, and went about the forest hunting. ¹⁴A lion killed Prasena and his horse and carried the jewel off, and as it was going into the mountain it was killed by Jambavan, who wanted the jewel. ¹⁵And he made the jewel a plaything for his child in the cave. Not seeing his brother, the brother, Satrajit, was in torment. ¹⁶My brother went to the forest with the jewel at his throat and was most likely killed by Krsna: hearing this, people said it over to one another, ear to ear. ¹⁷Hearing of it, the Bhagavan went after Prasena's track with the townsmen, to wipe off the bad name that had been smeared on him.

¹⁸Seeing Prasena and his horse killed by a lion in the forest, the people saw the lion too, killed by a bear on the mountain slope.
