Chapter – 308 – The legend of Lord Krishna -  159

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, once the deities, Lord Bhrama, Lord  Bhava, Lord Indra, Maruthganas, Adithya, Vasus, Ashwinikumaras, Rishis, Angirass, Rudra,  Gandharvas, Apsaras, Naga, Siddha, Charana, Pithru, Vidhyadhara, and Kinnara arrived in Dwaraka to meet Lord Krishna.  The deities eulogized “Oh! Natha, we shall prostrate at your lotus feet, Oh! Bhagavan, you are beyond intellect, mind, and Indriyas, you are constantly sought after by the Mumukshu, to get relieved from worldly matters and bondage. Oh! Bhagavan, you are unconquerable, you are beyond Prakrithi, You are absolute truth, we reverentially prostrate before you.  Oh! Bhagavan, you are not attainable for people who are attached to worldly matters and bondage, and the people who are soaked in the emotional thoughts, so they are restless and anxious, therefore you are not attainable for them.  Whoever constantly listens to the glorious myths of supreme Lord, recites or listens to his sacred names, follows austerities, performs charities, would elevate their souls to experience the bliss.  Oh! Bhagavan the constant remembrance of your lotus feet would bring the purity of mind, and it would remove the cluster of unwanted thoughts, it is a great experience to our mind.  Oh! Bhagavan, your purpose of incarnation has almost come to an end, while you leave the world discarding your costume, kindly do not forget to shower your compassionate grace on us. Oh! Bhagavan, you have incarnated in the clan of Yadhus, and you have lived 125 years performing various amusements on this Earth. Oh! Bhagavan, you are waiting to witness one more amusement, the destruction of your entire clan due to the curse of Vipra.  Oh! Bhagavan,  Kindly shower your compassionate grace on us.”

Bhagavan speaks “Oh! Vibudheshwara, I have incarnated on the Earth to reduce her burden.   The clan of Yadhu has attained extreme Veeryam, Shauryam, and Shriyam, I have been a source for the development of the Yadhu clan and in due course of time, it should meet its destruction by the curse of Vipra.”

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, Thus the supreme Lord Krishna prepared to leave his Kingdom Dwaraka which was established by him, includes magnificent fortresses for all those sixteen thousand and eight wives, and pleasure homes for all the children, and a number of magnificent homes.  He called out for the Yadhus in the assembly, all the Yadhavas were present in the assembly, and the supreme Lord began to speak “Oh! Yadhavas, we have been living in utmost compassion, kindness, companionship, and humility, the time has arrived to separate us from our association with the families, companions, and relatives. Our clan is facing the evil effects of the curse of Vipra, therefore you cannot blame me, and the time has arrived to meet the curse of Vipras.  You must be remembering the curse of the chaste woman Devi Gandhari on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the time has arrived to meet that curse too.  I have a request to all of you if anyone one of us desired to continue to live on this Earth; you have to leave this magnificent Dwaraka and should follow me.  We collectively go to Prabhasa Theertha and engage ourselves in pious deeds, in the association of saintly men and ascetics; we can even survive from this huge disaster.  The moment I leave the palace of Dwaraka, it would disappear immediately.  Therefore I request you all to come along with me to Prabhasa Theertha.  We might get the strength to face the upcoming disaster with righteous deeds. I request you all leave Dwaraka immediately, and do not hesitate to follow me.”  Thus, the supreme Lord moved out the marvelous assembly of Palace of Dwaraka, he silently walked out the entrance of the Palace, he neither prostrated before parents nor brother and he did not utter a single word to Udhdhava who was sincerely serving him for hundred and eleven years."
