English translation

The defeat of the Kauravas and their return of the horse, including a meeting with Lord Krishna.

Srigargaji says - Nripeśvara! At the same time, all the Yadavas, including Bhoja, Vrishni, and Andhak, and the mighty and mighty warriors of Mathura and Shurasena, crossed Yamuna and reached there, covering the sky with the dust of their feet and shaking the earth. Mahabalavan, Krishna, etc., and Aniruddha, along with Mahavira, came looking for the horse everywhere. The men of Vrishnava heard there from afar the fierce roar of war, the sound of trumpets, the roar of knights, the roar of lions, the sound of weapons colliding, the clamor, and the commotion. They were very surprised to hear this. When they learned that the Yadavas had entered into a fierce war with the Kauravas, the great men of Yadukulashiromani, Aniruddha and Krishna, arrived with great haste, fearing evil. Nareshwar. Samba Adi paid obeisance to Aniruddha Adi when he saw that 'Krishna has come with an army to help us.' On the arrival of Lord Krishna, the trumpets rang, the sounds of conch shells and gaumukhs echoed, the gods in the sky showered with flowers, and the Yadavas on the ground floor cheered. 'Mahabali Aniruddha has arrived in the battlefield, shaking the ground with an army of a hundred Akshauhins. Seeing this, the Kaurava warriors started running away in fear. The Vaishyas fled in terror at the sight of the vast arsenal of Andhakas floating in the ocean of the time of the Holocaust. There was commotion in every house. The Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, and women communities left the house and wept, cursing and abusing Duryodhana. 1-11 |

Duryodhana, the elder brother of Dushasana, then left his moustache and immediately awoke from his sleep. At that time, he had his eyes on the Yadava army. Seeing the huge army of Yadavas, Duryodhana became frightened and left for his city on foot in fear. Karna, Bhishma, Kripacharya, Dronacharya, Bhuri, and Duryodhana, among others, went to the assembly hall, saluted Dhritarashtra, and narrated the entire story. Hearing of his side's defeat, the victory of the Yadavas, and Krishna's good fortune, the king asked Vidura. 12-15 |

Hearing this from King Dhritarashtra, Vidura laughed and spoke. 16.

Vidura said, "Your Majesty! At first, Balramji was the only one who came in anger, who dragged Hastinapuri with a plow and made him lean towards the Ganges. Now comes his brother, who has incarnated from Devaki's heart, the lotus. He is Sri Hari, the personification of Lord Krishna. The king. They have killed many demons like Kansa and Shakuni in battle and also defeated many kings and gods. Therefore, my lord! You see, this is not the time for war for us. You return the black horse to Krishna by the Kauravas. This would not lead to a disastrous war between the Kauravas and the Yadavas. 17-20 |

After explaining this to his brother Vidura, the wise king Dhritarashtra told the Kauravas about the desh-pada. 21.

Dhritarashtra said, "Go to Shri Krishna and return the horse." It is beyond your power to wage a war in front of Devadhidev Srihari. Srihari has come angrily to help the Yadavs, you please go to him gently and please him. 22-23 |

All the Kauravas were terrified on hearing such an order from Kauravendra. They went on foot to have darshan of Lord Krishna, chanting the holy names of Balarama and Krishna, carrying various remedies such as fragrance, divine garments with Akshata, and various types of gems. The Yadavas were infuriated by the arrival of the Kauravas and soon took up various weapons for the war. Then all the Kauravas said to him, "We have not come to fight." We will have an auspicious darshan of Lord Krishna, who is the destroyer of all sorrows. 24-28 |

Hearing this, the Yadavas were astonished. He narrated all the exploits of the Kauravas to Lord Krishna. Nareshwar. Then, at the behest of Krishna, those great Yadava heroes lovingly called upon the Kauravas who had come unarmed. When Krishna called him, he went to him. They all had their faces downcast with shame. They said the salutations separately. 29-31 |

The first to speak was Acharya Drona - Jagadishwara Sri Krishna. Well done! Protect me Also save these Kauravas who were captivated by your delusion. 32.

Kripa ̄ ca ̄ rya said - Madhusudana. This is the fruit of my birth, this is the object of our prayer, and this is your grace upon me that you may remember me in this form as the slave of the servant of your servant's servant's attendant's servant's servant. 33 | (Ashwamedh Khand Chapter 46 to 50)

Karna said, "Madhava! May my wealth be scarce for the sake of my devotee, that is, for his benefit. May my youth be in the use of my own wife, and may my soul be devoted to the work of my Lord, and may thou be left as an object of attainment to me in the end. 34.

He said, "Oh my goodness! The Nath. We are asking you for something that others cannot get. If you have a kind divine vision for me, give it to me. Oh God! We are compelled to tie this anjali in front of you today. May this Anjali of mine be bound before you in the same manner even at birth. 35.

Duryodhana said, "I know Dharma, but I have no inclination towards it." I also understand sin, but I cannot get rid of it. I do what a god puts me through in my heart. Madhusudan. Forgive me for not being influenced by the merits of the device. I am the machine and you are the engineer (the engineer is responsible for the merits and demerits, not the machine. ), so you won't blame me. 36-37 |

Bhishma said - Yogindra. Those whom the Gopis have kissed in anger, Yogendra and Bhogindra (Sheshnag whom the MNS consumes and who are as gentle as a red lotus), they are the ones to whom my Anjali is attached for these steps. 38.

Vidura said - Those who nurture Brahman like a little child, that is, just as parents always take care of the child, those who are constantly engaged in Brahman-thinking, their auspicious deeds are the same as those of the sellers. The implication is that just as the seller has no ownership over the sold good, the celibate does not have a sense of ego or affection for the auspicious deed performed by them. (Therefore, their karmas are not binding. ) What is Brahman like? All that can be said in reply is that even MNS is inaccessible to demons, gods and sages. The Vedas describe it as "neti neti." But he does not get to know her. (O Lord! You are the 3 Brahmans). 39.

Srigarji says - Rajan. Lord Krishna was pleased with the Kauravas who had taken refuge and prayed to him in such a way that he spoke to them in a profound voice like a cloud. 40.

Thus, the Kauravas returned the horses with a large offering of valuable gifts when Lord Krishna granted them satisfaction through sweet words. The king. After returning the horse, all the other Kauravas left for their towns, feeling a sense of regret. But Bhishma considered going with the Yadava army to protect Ashwaki. 46-47 |

Thus was completed the fiftieth chapter of the Ashvamedha Khanda under the Srigargha Samhita, titled Hastinapur-Vijaya. 50.
