had not the power to keep. Stung by these words, the I'andava
went to Yama Loka. He went to Indra Loka. lie went to the
regions of Agni, Nirriti, Chandra, Vayu and Varuna. He went to
Rasatala. He went to Svarga. But the Brahmana boy was no
where to be found. He then made preparations for entering the fire.
Sri Krishna made him desist. He said: "I shall show you the
Brahmana's sons. Do not disregard yourself. Those that blame us
now shall sing our glory hereafter."
Krishna and Arjuna went towards the west. They crossed the
seven oceans and the seven Dvipas. They crossed the Loka-aloka
and entered the regions of chaotic darkness. The horses could not
proceed further. So by Krishna's order the glowing Chakra, Sudar-
shana, pierced through the darkness and the horses followed the track.
Infinite, endless, divine light then spread out. Arjuna re-opened his
eyes. They then entered the regions of primal water. They found one
house glittering with gems and stones. The thousand-headed Ananta
was sitting in that house. Seated upon Ananta was the Supreme
Purusha, the Lord of the Lords. Krishna and Arjuna saluted Him.
The Purusha then smiled and said: "I brought the Brahmana boys
that I might see you both. For the protection of Dharma on the
Earth, you have incarnated as my parts (Kala.) Kill the Asuras
that oppress the Earth and come back soon to me. Filled are your
own desires, O you Rishis, Nara and Narayana. But for the preserva-
tion of the Universe, do that which others may follow."
Krishna and Arjuna said " Om ". They brought back the
Brahmana boys and restored them to their father.
