Harivamsa · Chapter 25

pauravī rohiṇī nāma bāhlikasyātmajā nṛpa
jyeṣṭhā patnī mahārāja dayitānakadundubheḥ //

lebhe jyeṣṭhaṃ sutaṃ rāmaṃ śāraṇaṃ śaṭham eva ca
durdamaṃ damanaṃ śvabhraṃ piṇḍārakakuśīnarau //

citrāṃ nāma kumārīṃ ca rohiṇītanayā nava
citrā subhadreti punar vikhyātā kurunandana //

vasudevāc ca devakyāṃ jajñe śaurir mahāyaśāḥ
kīrtimantaṃ suṣeṇaṃ ca bhadrasenam udāradhī |
mṛtyuṃ samardanaṃ bhadraṃ saṃkarṣaṇam ahīśvaram |
vipulaṃ teṣv aṣṭatamo svayam eva hariḥ kila |
rāmāc ca niśaṭho jajñe revatyāṃ dayitaḥ sutaḥ //

subhadrāyāṃ rathī pārthād abhimanyur ajāyata
akrūrāt kāśikanyāyāṃ satyaketur ajāyata //

vasudevasya bhāryāsu mahābhāgāsu saptasu
ye putrā jajñire śūrā namatas tān nibodhata //

bhojaś ca vijayaś caiva śāntidevāsutāv ubhau
upāsaṅgaṃ varaṃ lebhe tanayaṃdevarakṣitā |
vṛkadevaḥ sunāmāyāṃ gadaś cāsyāḥ sutāv ubhau
agāvahaṃ mahātmānaṃ vṛkadevī vyajāyata //

kanyā trigartarājasya bhartā vai śiśirāyaṇaḥ
jijñāsāṃ pauruṣe cakre na caskande 'tha pauruṣam //

kṛṣṇāyasasamaprakhyo varṣe dvādaśame tadā
mithyābhiśapto gārgyas tu manyunābhisamīritaḥ
ghoṣakanyām upādāya maithunāyopacakrame //

gopālī tv apsarās tasya gopastrīveṣadhāriṇī
dhārayām āsa gārgyasya garbhaṃ durdharam acyutam //

mānuṣyāṃ gargyabhāryāyāṃ niyogāc chūlapāṇinaḥ
sa kālayavano nāma jajñe rājā mahābalaḥ
vṛṣapūrvārdhakāyās tam avahan vājino raṇe //

dūtaṃ ca preṣayām āsa vṛṣṇyandhakaniveśane //

tato vṛṣṇyandhakāḥ kṛṣṇaṃ puraskṛtya mahāmatim
sametā mantrayām āsur jarāsaṃdhabhayena ca //

kṛtvā ca niścayaṃ sarve palāyanam arocayan
tyaktvā gṛhān dhanaṃ sarve palāyanta manoratham |
vihāya mathurāṃ ramyāṃ mānayantaḥ pinākinam
kuśasthalīṃ dvāravatīṃ niveśayitum īpsavaḥ //
