Dasakam 75 Killing of Kamsa

(Next day Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama go to the wrestling arena, kills the four tusked Elephant called Kuvalayapeetha, defeat and kill Chanura and Mushtika and later kill Kamsa himself. Then he makes Ugrasena the father of Kamsa as the king of Mathura. He also gets the friendship of one of his great devotees called Udhava.)

Next day morning as per the orders of the very frightened Kamsa,
The big drums heralding the commencement of the wrestling match started to play,
Making the assembled kings to occupy the allotted seats for them to watch the wrestling.
And Nandagopa also arrived to the palace at that time
And there Kamsa sat on the tallest tier ,
And you along with Balarama and your other friends ,
Decorating yourselves nicely and in a proper manner,
Arrived at the gate of the competition which was blocked ,
By the very angry elephant called Kuvalayapeeta. 75.1

Hearing your words, “Evil creature go away from my way speedily,”
And goaded by the mahout the speeding elephant caught you with his trunk,
And you freed yourself quickly from it like a child play and forcefully hit its frontal lobe,
Which rivaled the pot like breasts of the Gopa maidens with which you had fought,
And hid yourself in between the legs of the elephant and came out with a smile. 75.2

Then you who are an expert in eluding the forceful grasp of great sages,
Eluded the elephant and ran around and played and suddenly
You felled the great elephant and when it again rushed with ire towards you,
You uprooted its tusks even when it was alive,
And collected valuable gems at the bottom of the tusk,
And gave them to your friend Sri Dhama possibly with an intention,
Of making ,a pretty necklace using them and presenting it to Radha. 75.3

Oh God , seeing you enter the arena along with Balarama,
Carrying the tusks of the slain elephant ,
Due to their mind being stolen by your very great prettiness,
Those people assembled there told among themselves,
“Ho , Nandagopa is indeed a lucky one in all the three worlds , no, no it is the Gopis,
No it is Yasoda , no, no it is ourselves, we are the only ones with blessed eye sight.” 75.4

Many people did not understand that you are that which is everywhere,
Which is eternal, Which is the personification of divine joy,
Which is the real Brahman , which is beyond space , time and causation,
And the one shining amongst the Gopas till you went to Mathura
And was seen by them when their real period of blessing came ,
And that the sins of those people who saw you were destroyed,
And became ever joyous and started recounting your childhood exploits. 75.5

Then according to the orders of the king, Chanura an expert in wrestling,
Fought with you and Mushtika an expert in fist fight fought with Balarama,
With mutual raining of powerful hits with fists, pushing down and,
Dragging and several types of fights with each other,
And that wresting expert Chanura even before experiencing death,
Wonder of wonders , experienced relations, freedom, catching and freeing*. 75.6
*These are the states of every Soul with God.

When the shocked people started talking with other , alas, alas,
These are children with tender bodies and the wrestlers have hardened bodies,
We will not able to watch this unequal fight “ and started to depart,
You rotated Chanura round and round with your hand ,
And when he was about to die , dashed him on the floor and killed him,
And immediately Bala Rama also killed Mushtika by crushing him,
And all those wrestlers present there ran away from the arena out of fear. 75.7

The very wicked Kamsa knowing not what do ordered the stopping of drum beat,
And ordered your respected parents to be executed
And take you, who is everywhere to a very far off place
And you got angry hearing these orders,
And jumped to the top of the palace like the Garuda swooping on a mountain,
And caught hold of Kamsa in spite of his brandishing a mighty sword. 75.8

Immediately you crushed the joints of Kamsa the king and threw him down,
From the top of the palace and you jumped and fell on Kamsa,
And then all the devas showered flowers and petals on you ,
Surprisingly Kamsa who was thinking about you always due to fear,
Attained salvation , and Oh Divine God , this was because ,
Of his memory of his previous birth as Kalanemi who was also killed by you. 75.9

You then killed the eight brothers of Kamsa and after that,
Quickly saluted your parents and made Ugrasena the king of Mathura,
And thus fulfilled the wishes of all Yadavas and you then made Udhava,
Who had learned Dharma from Brahaspathi and was your great devotee,
As well as your friend and due to this he started living in the capital happily,
And Oh Lord of Guruvayur , please be kind enough to remove all my diseases. 75.10
