Verse 36

³²Its roads had been sprinkled with water scented from the temples of elephants; it was bright with many-coloured banners, golden arches and brimming jars, and shining with men and young women, freshly washed, in new silk and ornaments, garlands and scent. ³³He saw the house of the Kuru king, lovely with lit lamps set out as offerings and with incense pouring from the lattices of every mansion, gay with flying flags, its buildings crowned with golden jars and broad silver finials. ³⁴Hearing that he had come, who is a drinking cup for the eyes of men, the young women, their hair and their silks loosening in their eagerness, dropped their housework and left their husbands in bed and went out at once onto the royal road to see him.

³⁵In that press of elephants and horses, chariots and men on foot, the women climbed onto their houses, and catching sight of Krsna with his wives they scattered flowers on him, held him in their minds, and made him welcome with a smiling look. ³⁶Seeing Mukunda's wives on the road, the women said: What can these have done, who are like stars beside the moon, that the crown of men should spread a festival for their eyes with one small part of his open, laughing, playing glance?
