Verse 6

¹When Rama had gone to Nanda's Vraja, king, the ruler of Karusa, who knew no better, sent a messenger to Krsna, saying, I am Vasudeva. ²You are Vasudeva, the Bhagavan, the lord of the world come down. Talked up like this by childish men, he took himself for the Unfallen. ³And the dull man sent a messenger to Krsna at Dvaraka, whose road cannot be made out; a king made king by children, and no more knowing than a child himself. ⁴The messenger came to Dvaraka and spoke the king's message to the lord Krsna, whose eyes are lotus petals, as he sat in his hall. ⁵I alone am Vasudeva come down, and there is no other, and I came down out of pity for living beings. So you give up the name that is not yours.

⁶Satvata, the marks you carry out of stupidity are ours. Give them up and come to me for refuge; and if you will not, give me a battle.
