Nanda and Yasoda considered in their minds that (this escape of Krishna) 
was as if he had been born (again) that day.^ 
(60) He who shall read or hear (the tale of) the snbdning of Kali, will 
count a hundred Yamas^ as but a straw. All his life he will rejoice with a 
wealth and relations,^ and after final death will dwell in Yaiknntha.'^ 
SaithMan’bodh, “all became full of joy, and departed singing and dancing.”

One day Hari and Haladhara, the two brothers, went with the 
children to a grove of tdl palms. The fragrance of the tcUs came to 
them, and the months of all became dripping^ with water. Some 
(tried) staves^ and some (tried) clods, but the tdl fruit fell not,—the 
only thing that fell was the saliva'^ from their mouths. Seeing this the 
lotus-eyed one laughed, and Haladhara seized and shook one of the trees. 
(5) Before^ this the demon Hhenuka had settled to come there, and 
under the form of an ass was keeping guard over the tdl grove. Hearing 
(the boys cry) “ Catch, Catch,” he became exceeding wroth, and came up 
braying and kicking.^ Coming near he aimed^® a terrible kick, and like a 
demoiY^ attacked Haladhara. Haladhara seized him by the hind-legs, 
and whirling him violently round, struck him again and again against 
the tdl tree. From Haladhara did that wicked being obtain the excellent 
fruit (of salvation), and became assimilated^^ with his deified progeni¬ 
tors. (10) Krishna himself seized two or three (of the demon’s fellow- 
asses), and, having done so, used them as missiles for knocking down the 
tdl fruit. Then all ate the tdl fruits together, and each brought a load 
home to his own court-yard.
