Kiling of Hamsa and Shri Krishna

Vaishampayana said — О excellent king, observing the terrific weapon, Hamsa, the ruler, became motionless with fright.

Jumping from his chariot he rushed towards the river Yamuna, at a place, where Shri Krishna had subjugated Kalinaga — serpent in earlier times.

The lake was extremely terrific there and was as deep as the patala. Its expansion was also as much. It appeared black like the collyrium.

Hamsa in panic jumped into the lake. Thundering sound was produced with the fall of Hamsa in the lake water, as if the sound was produced with the fall of mountains in water, with the streching of vajra by Indra.

Then the JagidKvara Krishna also jumped from his chariot into the lake, astonishing the entire world.

At that point of time Kesava kicked Hamsa with both his feet. Some people believe that Hamsa died with the kicks of Shri Krishna, while others hold the opinion that he was stuck down (in the swamp), where he was eaten up by the serpents. No one could see him returning from there, this has also been heard about him.

Thereafter, Shri Krishna returned to his chariot as before. О king, your grand father — Yudhisthira, had performed the Rajasuya yajha after the killing of Hamsa. Had Hamsa been alive, then who would have bowed his head at him.

О lord, Harhsa after receiving the boon from Mahadeva, had become well versed in the use of all the weapons. In a moment, the news was spread in the entire world, that Shri Krishna, the killer of the enemy, had killed Hamsa". On hearing the news, the Gandharvas, started rejoicing and singing throught out the day and night.

The lord of the entire world lord Krishna the form of powerful Visnu, killed Hamsa in the horrible lake of Yamuna. Thus his glory was sung everywhere.

Here ends chapter — 128, of Bhavisya Parva of the Harivarhsa Purana, a supplement of the epic of Mahabharata, relating to the killing of Hamsa by Shri Krishna. (Vrs. 1-13, P.T. = 14,646)

Vaishampayana said — О Janamejaya, listening about the death of this terrific and valorous brother, Hamsa in the battle ground, stopped fighting with Balabhadra, went to the Bank of Yamuna. Balabhadra also followed him with great speed.

О king, the place were Hamsa had jumped in the lake of Yamuna, Dimbaka also jumped at the same place. He churned the entire of the Yamuna (lake). Dimbhaka was filled in anger, in the entire water of the Yamuna. He would suddenly dip deep into the water and then come back to the surface. Thus dipping into the water again and again, he could not find his so strong a brother.

Then the powerful Dimbhaka came out of the water and finding Shri Krishna standing there, he said to him.

О son of the cowherd, where is Hamsa"? At this Shri Krishna replied, "O degraded king, why donot you ask Yamuna about it".

When the glorious Vasudeva, so spoke, with delight, thus Dimbhaka who was devoted to his brother listening to his words, again, entered the water of Yamuna and searched for his brother variously. Then getting confused, when he could not find him, he started lamenting.

He said, 'O Rajendra, where have you gone, leaving Dimbhaka? О brother, where have you gone, leaving me here"?

О Janamejaya — the excellent king, thus lamenting, Dimbhaka, who was devoted to his brother, thought of ending his life in the huge lake of Yamuna.

Suddenly he plunged into the water, then he raised himself after a dip, and having resolved to die, lamented again and again, Dimbhaka, who himself indulged in several misadventures, he plucked his tongue from the root, holding it in both the hands and met with his end in the water itself. О king, the evil end of Dimbhaka, was bound to lead him to the hell.

Thus after killing of the valorous Hamsa and Dimbhaka the lotus eyed Shri Krishna, surprising all the bhiitas, returned from that place.

О king, the glorious and lovable, besides the delighted Vasudeva, together with Balabhadra, resting for a while over the mountain Govardhana, stayed at the place which had been enjoyed by him earlier.

Here ends chapter — 129, of Bhavisya Parva of the Harivarhsa Purana, a supplement of the epic of Mahabharata, relating to the Suicide by Dimbhaka. (Vrs. 1-15, P.T. = 14,661)

Yasoda with milkmaids and cowherds meet Shri Krishna and Balabhadra at Govardhana

Vaishampayana said — О king, Janamejaya, both Yasoda and Nanda - gopa were extremely desirous of meeting Shri Krishna. When they heard about the arrival of Shri Krishna with his elder brother, had arrived over Govardhana, then they were suddenly delighted. They carrying butter, curd, payasam, khichdl, the forest flowers and the cowherds and reached Govardhana.

They found there, that the son of Vasudeva, having the eyes like the black buck was seated under a tree with Balabhadra his elder brother.

Meeting them both, Nanda and Yasoda felt immensely delighted. Therefore both the valorous Krishna and Balarama, offered their salutation to Nanda and Yasoda. Then Nanda, offered all the presents like payasama etc. to both of them.

At that point of time, Shri Krishna asked, "O father, О mother, are all the cows in the cowpens of Braja, well? О father, do the cows yield enough of milk? Are their young calves well?

Is the milk of the cows of Braja, quite pure and yields welfare. Do you have excellent cows? О mother, do the small boys graze the calves and drink enough of milk?

О Father, do you collect enough of ropes, pegs, and several types of grass for cows?

О Father, do the carts issue the fragrances of milk. Have the milkmaids produced the sons? Have the children been born to them.

О mother, are the broken pitchers still found in Braj? О Father, do the cows yield enough of milk daily?

Have the cows increased the production of milk, curd and butter? Are all the cows free from ailments?

Nanda said — О lord, О great warrior, all our cows are free from ailments, О Kesava, all the cows are always healthy.

О Devesvara, under your protection we always remain well. О Kesava, we are all well with our cows and calves.

О Krishna, I always suffer for one thing, that I am unable to have a look at you to my satisfaction. I suffer from the pain in my heart, because of this. It pains me alwsys.

Vaishampayana said — О Janamejaya, thus feeling painful, Shri Krishna said to Nanda. "O Father, do not be emotional, go to your home". Then he said to YaSoda, "You also go back to your abode, О mother.

Such of the people who would recite your name, shall go to the heaven. Those of the people who would offer their salutation to you, they would always be my lovable devotees". Thus speaking, Shri Hari again prayed Yasoda to return.

Ths speaking to his parents, the eternal lord Vasudeva, embraced them both with delight and then sent them off. Thereafter, both Nanda and Yasoda returned to their abode.

Shri Krishna — Visnu, then desired to return to Dvaraka with people of Yadava and Vrsni races.

One who listens to this episode, with apt attention or reads it, he achieves sons in this world besides the riches and in he end he gets moksa.
