Journey of Yadav heroes, including the army, for victory
Naradji says - Rajan! Thus said Pradyumna, the best of the archers surrounded by an army, to Ugrasena with Krishna-Baldeva. 1.
Ugrasena said, "O great sage Pradyumra! You will return to Dwarakama soon after having won over all the kings by the grace of Lord Krishna. Keep in mind that righteous men do not kill drunkards, inattentive, mad (mad), sleeping, child, root, female, surrendered, chariotless, and terrified enemies. The remission of suffering of beasts in distress and the slaying of passers-by is the supreme religion of the king. Thus one who is a terrorist (that is, one who poisons others, sets fire to foreign houses, kidnaps the region and the woman) is certainly deserving of execution. Slaying people, whether female, male, or eunuch, who are self-important, vile, and cruel to all living beings is like not slaying kings. That is, the kings are not to blame for the slaying of the wicked. Slaying enemies in crusade is not a sin for the reigning monarch. Adiraja Swayambhuva Manu had said to the kings in the past, 'Whoever sacrifices his life by stepping forward fearlessly in the battle, penetrates the solar system and goes to the supreme abode. The warrior who, despite being a Kshatriya, flees from the battle out of fear, leaving the lord alone on the battlefield, falls into the Great Hell. The king has a duty to protect the army and the army has a duty to protect the king himself. The thread should save the life of the charioteer in distress and protect the charioteer. All of you Yadavas are endowed with a powerful army and vehicle; so together you must protect Pradyumna and Pradyumna should protect you. The cow, the Brahmin, the deity, the Dharma, the Vedas and the Sadhupurusha - are ever-worshipped by all humans who aspire for salvation on this earth. The Vedas are the voice of Lord Vishnu, the Brahmins are his face, the cows are his body, the gods are his limbs, and the Sadhupurusha is considered his soul. May he be directly subservient to the purest Lord Shri Krishna Hari Bhakti in whose mind resides, the heroes of whom are always victorious. 2-13 | (Vishwajitkhand chapter 1 to 5)
Shrinaradji says - Nareshwar! All the Yadavas accepted this order of King Ugrasena with their heads bowed and bowed with folded hands. Pradyumna then bowed his head and paid obeisance to King Ugrasena, Shura, Vasudeva, Balabhadra, Krishna, and Mahamuni Gargacharya. Oh dear God! Subsequently, King Ugrasena, accompanied by Shrikrishna and Baldev, moved to Yadupuri, and Shrikrishna's son Pradyumna, desired by Digvijaya, set out with the Yadava army. 14-16 |
Maithileshwar! From all the golden camps of that army, the highway four yojanas long was also covered and decorated. In front of the army was Mahabali Kritavarma with a large army, and behind him was Akrur, the best of the archers, marching with his army. After that, minister Uddhav was going with five statues. The king! He was followed by eighteen Maharathi travelling with an army of a hundred Akshauhins. Their names are Pradyumna, Aniruddha, Deeptiman, Bhanu, Samba, Madhu, Brihadbhanu, Chitrabhanu, Vrika, Arun, Pushkar, Devabahu, Shrutadeva, Sunandan, Chitrabhanu, Virupa, Kavi, and Nyagrodha. After that, all the heroes like Krishna inspired Gada were running. The army consisted of warriors descended from Bhoja, Vrishni, Andhaka, Madhu, Shurasena, and Dasaraha. The total number of Yadavas is said to be fifty-six crores. O Lord! Who will count that Yadava army on this earth? 17-21 |
Thus, the great roar of the Nagars, accompanied by a large army, was spreading over the earth, being beaten with the bow and arrow of the Yadava kings. The cries of the Gajendras, the sighs of the hyenas, the sound of the roaring Bhushundi (cannon), the roar of the resolute Veeron, and the serious sounds of the Dunkon would present a scene of thunderous thunderous thunderous thunderous thunderous thunderous Yadava-Veer lightning. The whole world was being adorned with that army. Even the ears of the giants were deafened by the roar of those great heroes as they walked the earth, and the enemy gave up courage and immediately began to flee to their fortress. Water turtles' What on earth is this happening? They would say, 'Where shall we go from here?' They started running away while they were talking. They thought to themselves, 'O Vidhata! Where is this nuisance going, which has disturbed this immovable earth along with all the worlds? '. 22-27 | (Vishwajitkhand chapter 1 to 5)
Woe to you! The sacrifice itself was an excuse. Under his guise, Parameshwara Srihari was unloading the load on the ground floor. Salutations to the Lord, the Lord of the Eternal, the Lord of the Earth, who is seated in Yadukula in the form of Chaturvya. 28.
Thus was completed the fourth chapter, "Pradyumna's Digvijayarth Yatra," in the Narada Bahulashva-Samvadam under the Vishwajit Khanda in the Srigarghasamhita. 4.
