TRANSLATION

In just two days, O almighty Lord, I will see the deaths of Canura, Mustika and other wrestlers, along with those of the elephant Kuvalayapida and King Kamsa -- all by Your hand. Then I will see You kill Kalayavana, Mura, Naraka and the conch demon, and I will also see You steal the parijata flower and defeat Indra. I will then see You marry many daughters of heroic kings after paying for them with Your valor. Then, O Lord of the universe, in Dvaraka You will deliver King Nrga from a curse and take for Yourself the Syamantaka jewel, together with another wife. You will bring back a brahmana's dead son from the abode of Your servant Yamaraja, and thereafter You will kill Paundraka, burn down the city of Kasi and annihilate Dantavakra and the King of Cedi during the great Rajasuya sacrifice. I shall see all these heroic pastimes, along with many others You will perform during Your residence in Dvaraka. These pastimes are glorified on this earth in the songs of transcendental poets.
