THE MAHABHARATA
Embracing Arjuna, the aged Vasudeva
wept, being greatly distressed. And
extremely sad, Arjuna said these words in
the proper time :
'शक्रप्रस्थमहं नेध्ये वृष्ण्यन्धकजनं स्वयम् ।
वजोऽयं भवतां राजा शक्रप्रस्थे भविष्यति ॥'
"I shall myself take all the Vrishnis
and the Andhakas to Indraprastha. This
Vajra (son of Aniruddha, Krishna's
grandson) will be your king at Sakraprastha."
श्वोभूतेऽथ ततश्शौरिर्जगाम गतिमुत्तमाम् ॥
On the following day then, Vasudeva
attained to heaven.
स तेषां विधिवत्कृत्वा प्रेतकार्याणि पाण्डवः ।
सप्तमे दिवसे प्रायाद्रथमारुह्य सत्वरः ॥
After performing in the prescribed
manner the obsequial rites for the departed
Vrishnis, Arjuna mounted the chariot and
sped on the seventh day.
स्त्रियस्ता वृष्णिवीराणामनुजग्मुर्धनञ्जयम् ॥
