194 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

of fruitive actions and the resultant reactions take place. My dear sister,
you know that we were very much harrassed by King Kamsa, and by his
persecutions we were scattered here and there. We were always full of
anxieties. Only in the last few days have we returned to our own places,
by the grace of God.”

After this conversation, Vasudeva and Ugrasena received the kings who
came to see them, and they sufficiently welcomed them all. Seeing Lord
Krsna present on the spot, all the visitors felt transcendental pleasure and
became very peaceful. Some of the prominent visitors were as follows:
Bhismadeva, Dronacarya, Dhrtarastra, Duryodhana, and Gandhari along
with her sons; King Yudhisthira along with his wife, and the Pandavas
along with Kunti; Srfijaya, Vidura, Krpacarya, Kuntibhoja, Virata, King
Nagnajit, Purujit, Drupada, Salya, Dhrstaketu, the King of Kasi, Damaghosa,
Visalaksa, the King of Mithila, the King of Madras (formerly known as
Madra), the King of Kekaya, Yudhamanyu, Sugarma, Bahlika along with
his sons, and many other rulers who were subordinate to King Yudhisthira.

When they saw Lord Krsna with His thousands of queens, they became
fully satisfied at the sight of such beauty and transcendental opulence. All
who were there personally visited Lord Balarama and Krsna, and being
properly welcomed by the Lord they began to glorify the members of the
Yadu dynasty, especially Krsna and Balarama. Because he was the King of
the Bhojas, Ugrasena was considered the chief Yadu, and therefore the
visitors specifically addressed him: “Your majesty Ugrasena, King of the
Bhojas, factually the Yadus are the only persons within this world who
are perfect in all respects. All glories unto you! All glories unto you! The
specific condition of your perfection is that you are always seeing Lord
Krsna, who is sought after by many mystic yogis undergoing severe
austerities and penances for great numbers of years. Ali of you are in
direct touch with Lord Krsna at every moment.

“All the Vedic hymnsare glorifying the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
Krsna. The Ganges water is considered sanctified because of its being the
water used to wash the lotus feet of Lord Krsna. The Vedic literatures are
nothing but the injunctions of Lord Krsna. The purpose of the study of
all the Vedas is to know Krsna; therefore, the words of Krsna and the
message of His pastimes are always purifying. By the influence of time
and circumstances, all the opulences of this world had become almost
completely wiped out, but since Krsna has appeared on this planet, all
auspicious features have again appeared due to the touch of His lotus feet.
Because of His presence, all our ambitions and desires are gradually being
fulfilled. Your majesty, King of the Bhojas, you are related with the Yadu
