He carried off the pārijāta tree, and Indra's pride as well. And he had Satyā perform the desired Puṇyaka vow. Everywhere he increased the regular and the occasional (observances), O sage. In that vow he gave his own self as the fee to the boy. He fed brahmins and gladly gave them jewels. And he increased Satyabhāmā's great pride in every way, and Rukmiṇī's abundant good fortune, and that of the other (wives), ever anew. The worship of the Vaiṣṇavas, of the gods, and of the brahmins too he increased everywhere, both regular and occasional, O sage. The Lord gave the highest knowledge of the Self to Uddhava, and he spoke the Gītā to Arjuna at the front of the battle; and the treasury of compassion, out of compassion, made (the earth) free of thorns.
