English translation

With Arjuna, Pradyumna conquered Chanda, the son of Kalayavana, and set out for the northeast outside India.

Naradji says - Rajan! After pacifying Duryodhana along with his brothers and other Kuru vanshis, Yadukulatilaka Balarama and Krishna went to Indraprastha to meet the Pandavas. Then Ajatashatru King Yudhishthira came out of Indraprastha with his brothers and relatives to receive Krishna. Along with them, other residents of Indraprastha also came showering flowers with conch shells, drum beats, chanting of Veda mantras, and flute playing. Balarama and Krishna were pulled by King Yudhishthira from both arms, embraced by the heart, and experienced bliss. He was filled with bliss like a yogi. Sri Krishna Kumaras like Pradyumna also paid obeisance to Sri Yudhishthira. Yudhishthira blessed them all by holding them with both hands. Srihari himself asked Arjuna and Bhimsen for their good news from his heart, and Nakula and Sahadeva greeted him at his feet. 1 - 5.

Lord Krishna and Balarama are the absolute Sri Hari, the custodians of countless universes. Yudhishthira, a devotee of the Bhagavad Gita, had the utmost respect for the two brothers. He ceremoniously sent the chief hero of the Yadukula, Pradyumna, etc., along with soldiers for victory and ordered them to conquer all the earth. Then they went to Dwarka together with Dharmaraja Yudhishthira, both Bhaktavatsal Sarvesvara Bandhu brothers. The king! Balarama and Krishna, both brothers of the Gaur and Shyam varnas, are the heartthrob of all. Nareshwar. That is how I told you the character of Krishna. It is the giver of all four substances to humans. Now what else do you want to hear? . 6-93 | .

Bahulashwa asked, "Munna! What did Lord Pradyumra Hari do when Purushottama Krishna went to Kushasthali with Balarama? His wonderful character is audible and charming. The Bhagavacharitra is always audible even to those who are jivanmukt jnani bhaktas, then what to say for the curious bhaktas. The character of God is always giving meaning to Artharthi devotees and calming the pain of Artha devotees. Moreover, he is the destroyer of all the sins of the four types of living beings, the immovable and the immovable. Tell me exactly how Sriharikumar Pradyumna, an ardent follower of Digvijay, returned to Dwarakama with his army after conquering all directions. Oh dear! You are the son of Brahma and the all-seeing God, the mind of Lord Krishna; therefore, my obeisance is to you as the mind of Sri Hari. 10-14 | (Vishwajitkhand chapter 21 to 25)

Narada said, "O king! You asked a very good question. Blessed are you because you are the knower of the divine influence. You are the deserving (competent authority) to listen to the character of Lord Krishna on this ground floor. O Lord! After the departure of Krishna, the Ajatashatru king Yudhishthira affectionately ordered his brother Arjuna to accompany him to protect Pradyumna from his enemies, as he feared that external enemies might threaten Pradyumna and others. 15-16 |

Mithileshwar! Yadushreshtha Pradyumna, along with Arjuna, then marched with a large army to the immediate Trigarta district. Dhanurdhara Susarma, the king of Trigarta, was suspicious and offered Mahamana to Pradyumra. Then, worshipped by King Virata of Matsya Desh, Yadweshwara Pradyumra took a bath in the Saraswati River and visited the Kurukshetra Tirtha. He then proceeded through the shrines of Prithudaka Bindu Sarovara, Tritakupa, and Sudarshana, immersing himself in Saraswati and making various donations there. On reaching the city of Kaushambi, do not offer a gift to King Kushambane Pradyumra of Saraswata territory, as he was after Duryodhana due to his subjugation. Then, on the orders of Pradyumna, the ten Rukmini sons - Charudeshna, Sudeshna the mighty, Charudhe, Sunda, Charugupta, Bhadrachara, Charuchandra, Vicharu, and the tenth, riding on Sindhi horses, surrounded the city of Kaushambi. With their arrows, the spires, flags, urns, and pillows of the capital's palaces began to fall apart, just as the buildings of Lanka had begun to crumble under the blows of monkeys. When Rukminikumara thus diffused the darkness with arrows, King Kushamba came out of the city with many gifts in his hands. With folded hands, they saluted Shambarari, and the fearful and fearful king defended the city with many gifts. At the same time, Souviraja Sudeva, Abhiraraja Vichitra, Sindhupati Chitrangada, Kashmiraraja Mahuja, Jangaladhipati Sumeru, Laksheshwara Dharmapati, and Gandharvaraja Vidouja - all of whom were Duryodhana's vassals - offered sacrifices out of fear and bowed to Krishna-Kumara Pradyumna with utmost humility. Subsequently, surrounded by his army, Mahabahu Pradyumna, like the fierce Kalki, appeared to conquer the lands of Arbuda and Mlechha. 17-30 | (Vishwajitkhand chapter 21 to 25)

Yavanendra Chand, the son of Mahabali of Kalayavana, was filled with indignation on hearing the arrival of Pradyumna. 'Today I will avenge my father by killing the son of the enemy who killed my father. 'With this thought in my mind, he set out before Mahatma Pradyumna with an army of ten crore men, a stream of wine, and a roaring high Gajraj. Inspired by Chandaki, Pradyumna spoke to his soldiers on seeing the arrival of a large army raining down sharp arrows. 31-34 |

Naradji says - Rajan. While Pradyumna was saying this nearby, Arjuna, the Gandivadhari Kapidhvaja, entered the enemy army alone, repeatedly bows and arrows. Randurmad Gandivadhari cut the heroes, chariots, elephants, and horses standing in front of him into two pieces each by means of discards left behind by the Gandiva bow. Many enemy soldiers fell to the ground with their arms amputated with power, sword, and sage (Dudhara kanda) in their hands. Many of the armoured heroes had their legs amputated and nails broken. Elephants whose tusks were torn off and their bodies wounded began to run around the battlefield. Their hours fell somewhere and the boats had to go somewhere. They also ran away, knocking down elephants with their tusks. Filled with elephants and horses, one or two of which had been crushed by Arjuna's arrows, it appeared to be a field covered in fragments of kumkhas cut by battlefield elephants. Then the Mleccha soldiers threw away their weapons, left the battlefield, and fled with great force, just as the communities of haze scattered by the sun's rays were destroyed. 36-41 |

Maithilendra. Mlechhraj Chand, seated on an elephant, threw a force over Arjuna and roared like a lion. Rajendra! Arjuna, the valiant Krishna-sacrilege, sported a hundred pieces of that power's Gandiva-free arrows as lightning struck him. By the time Mahamlechcha Chanda raised his bow in fury, Gandivadhari had mercilessly shot an arrow and cut off his bow. Then the mighty Chanda took the second bow and cut off Arjuna's chariot, which sounded as serious as the great whirlwinds of the ocean of the time of the Flood, just as Garuda had torn a serpent into pieces. Arjuna then took his shining sword with a shield and struck Chandaka Gajaraja's Kumbhasthali with it, as if Indra had struck Vajra on a mountain. The elephant's Kumbh site was blown away by the sword given to it by the fire god. He knelt on the ground, shaking his head. Then he became very tired. Then Chanda also took the sword and struck Pandunandana Arjuna; but Kurukula - Tilaka Arjuna stopped his sword on the shield and struck it with his sword. This separated the head from the torso with the chandaka helmet. Arjuna then mounted his bow, placed Chand's head on the arrow, dragged it on the bow, and threw it into Pradyumna's army. 42-50 | (Vishwajitkhand chapter 21 to 25)

At that time, the thunderbolt began to play along with the thunderbolt and the gods began to shower flowers on Arjuna. Then Srikrishna Kumar Pradyumna at the same moment made Arjuna, the commander of his army, adorned with Vijayadhvaja. At that time, the main heroes of the Yadava army, with white chavars, etc. in their hands, blew the Kapidhvaja over Arjuna. Then the giant cyst took refuge in Pradyugrahi. With trembling hands, he saluted and made offerings. King Mandahasana of Moranga was horrified and saluted Mahatma Pradyumna by giving him a million horses. Thus, after conquering Bharatkhand, Yadukul-Tilaka Srikrishna Kumar marched further northeast, taking the Himalayas in a southerly direction. 51-55 |

Thus was completed the twenty-second chapter called 'Bahudigvijaya' in the Narada Bahulashva-samvada under the Vishvajit Khanda in the Srigarghasamhita. 22.
