Hearing the goddess of the great river thus bewail the powerful Krishna consoled her with many soothing words. Krishna said, “O amiable one, be comforted. Do not give way to sorrow, O you of beautiful features. Forsooth, your son has gone to the highest region of happiness.
एवंविधं बहु तदा विलपन्तीं महानदीम्॥ आश्वासयामास तदा गङ्गां दामोदरो विभुः। समाश्वसिहि भद्रे त्वं मा शुचः शुभदर्शने।॥ गतः स परमं लोकं तव पुत्रो न संशयः।
