Chapter – 353 – The legend of Lord Krishna -  201

Rama: Samudhravelayam Yogamasthaya Paurusham | Tha Thyaja Lokam Manushyam Samyojya Athmanam Athmani ||

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, Balarama, and Krishna took a seat in an isolated area of the seashore. They were not unhappy to witness the destruction of the Vrishnis, instead, they felt relieved that the wicked children had lost their lives; otherwise, they would become a burden for Mother Earth in the future.  It was the time of sunset, Balarama sat on the seashore watching the sun, underwent deep meditation and attained union with the Bhramam.  The whole atmosphere was filled in a unique brilliance, and his body became standstill.  Krishna watched his brother Rama’s body is washing away by the waves, remembered his time for departure. He returned to the woods and took a seat under a peepal tree.  The Supreme Lord Krishna who has the supreme brilliance, attired in marvelous yellow silk garment, dark cloud complexioned, adorned in Srivathsam, Vanamala, Kausthubham, Makarakundalam, Katisuthra/marvelous waist ornament, Bhramasuthra/sacred thread across the chest, Kireeta, Katakam, Angadham, and Haranoopuram, seated under the peepal tree with a pleasing smile on his face.  A hunter approached the wood with a powerful arrow that was made from the Musala, previously discarded in the ocean by Samba, later it was swallowed by a fish that was caught by the fisherman and delivered to the hunter.  It was during the hours of dusk, the hunter witnessed the reflection of sun rays on the yellow garment of Krishna and mistook as deer, and he shot the sharp arrow on the right foot of Krishna.”
