SHREE KRISHNA SETS OFF FOR PRABAS ORGANISES THE YAGNA
Krishna having entrusted the security of Dwarka to Samudra, set off in his chariot, driving himself. He arrived at the Prabas tirth in a split second. At Prabas, he went round. popping into every building in the castle to scrutinise the whole set up. He bowed to his blood father and mother, Basudev and Devaki.
Hari then walked into the quarter of Annapurna. He genuflexed at the feet of Bhagwati with a scarf of fabric around his neck after paying his tribute to her. He paid respect to his brother Balram next, and to Yudhisthir, who gave him a friendly hug. Whereupon Bhim, Arjun, Nakul, and Sahadev came in and prostrated at his feet. Kishna gave them a tight embrace one by one in turn, with a show of affection. They all had a pleasant conversation.
Govind, thereafter, walked over to the annapur (warehouse for food storage) where he called his consort ladies one by one and asked about their comforts. He then went outside and met all the relatives, such as Ugrasen, Udhab, Akrur, Satyaki and others. The five Pandavs also joined them. So did all his eighty sons. He enquired of them about their specific duties. He appreciated what they were doing and congratulated them.
Krishna then called his son Kamadev and deputed him with a new assignment. “My son, now you go with your brothers and take all those things that are necessary for yagna, as enumerated by Garg Munir, and store them in one building, so that they are easily available when required. Make sure there will be no shortage of anything. The yagna will be performed for three days non-stop. But the provisions should be adequate for six days.”
