Having brought the king's rite to its end, Krsna, lord of the lords of yoga, stayed on some months, since his friends begged him to. Then the Lord, the son of Devaki, took leave of the king, who did not want to give it, and went with his wives and his ministers to his own city. I have told you that story at great length already: the birth, again and again, of the two who lived in Vaikuntha, by the curse of a brahmin. King Yudhisthira, bathed with the closing bath of the Rajasuya, shone in the middle of that assembly of brahmins and kshatriyas like the king of the gods. All the gods and men and sky-goers, honoured by the king, went gladly to their own places, speaking well of Krsna and of the rite,

all but Duryodhana, that evil man, the Kali age itself, the sickness of the Kuru line, who could not bear the sight of the full fortune of the son of Pandu. Whoever tells this deed of Visnu, the killing of the Caidya and the rest, the freeing of the kings and the sacrifice, is set loose from all his faults.
