Hearing the words spoken, the virtuous goddess bowed respectfully to Maheshvari. Meanwhile, King Jambuka, bewildered by a powerful divine illusion, was seized and bound with strong iron fetters. At that same time, the three sons—Kaliya and his brothers—were present, and soon a fierce battle erupted between the two armies. The mighty warriors, having confined three of their enemies in a cell, slew them with their own weapons. Stricken with sorrow, Kaliya remembered Hara, the great Lord, within his mind. In that very moment, the devoted goddess Devaki, steadfast in her love for her husband, awakened the portion of Krishna residing in the five-syllabled elephant. Pleased and joyful, the goddess herself awakened them. Thus, Ahlada, Suryavarman, and Kaliya, his younger brother, arose. In their former birth, O Brahmin, Jarasandha had been with Kaliya, while Trishiras was reborn as a jackal, and that jackal was none other than Jambuka. When the sons of the enemy were slain, Devaki beheld Jambuka, their foe. Out of deep affection, the portion of Krishna took the heads of his parents. Smiling, they exchanged sweet words, speaking to each other even though their bodies had perished. The goddess, holding a sword in her hand, placed the enemy within a stone mechanism and instructed, "O sons, crush your father's enemy, Jambuka, the vilest of men. Pulverize his body with those oils prepared from intoxication." The sons obeyed, and together with the queen and her son, they carried out her command. The queen, upon noticing a fragrance, realized her lord was afflicted. Her daughter, bringing a sword, confronted Balakhani, who was mighty-armed. Talanam, Devasimha, and the portion of Rama also acted in this way. Then, by means of illusion, Krishna's portion was quickly bewildered and seized; his head was taken and cast onto the funeral pyre. At that moment, a voice resounded, "Hear, O Balakhani! The fruit of this, in marriage, must be experienced by the one who has committed sinful deeds." After these events, all the soldiers, filled with great joy at their victory, returned to the great city, their purpose accomplished. Thereafter, they journeyed back to their own city. What happened then, O sage? In the month of Jyeshtha, they arrived home, celebrating with many musical instruments. Hearing of their return, King Parimala summoned his victorious sons and warriors. The king of the earth, having heard all, gathered the mighty army of Balakhani and declared, "Receive from me wealth amounting to half a crore, and be happy. Each year, O powerful lord, take that wealth." When the strong portion of Krishna reached the age of thirteen, on the thirteenth day of the bright fortnight in Bhadra, Ahlada departed with his younger brother. In the dark portion, Bindula, the son of Vatsa, mounted and journeyed to Harini. After two days, the four of them arrived at the sacred field of Gaya. There, hundreds of elephants and beautifully adorned chariots assembled, along with cows, gold, jewels, and various garments. Lakshavati, a courtesan, journeyed to the hermitage of Badarika.
