Departing quickly from their own world, united with their own preceptor, all the gods, assembled together, came into his presence. He, dragging along a great army of daityas, dānavas and rākṣasas, mounted his chariot and went swiftly to conquer Śakra's city. He brought the three worlds under his own control, and the shares of sacrifice entirely; he himself became Indra, and the whole world was ruled (by him). "That Śaṅkhacūḍa, the mighty one, is Kṛṣṇa's supreme friend, devoted to devotion to Kṛṣṇa, a good man, ever of those who dwell in Goloka." Having praised (him) thus, all the gods wept before Hari. Hearing that, the Lord Viṣṇu said this to Brahmā: "He indeed is the Supreme Self, who sports together with Umā, where, wholly freed from māyā, he is the ordainer of the eternal and the non-eternal."
