Shaishirayana was the husband of the Trigarta king's daughter.
Questions arose about
his masculinity and his potency because his seed was never
ejaculated. - 12
Twelve years having passed thus (i.e. without issue), that Garga
clanist (i.e.
Shaishirayana) was so filled with rage at the false scandal that his
complexion turned
the colour of black 'Ayasa' (bronze or iron). - 13
He engaged intercourse with a Gopa maiden who was a celestial nymph
named
Gopali disguised as a cowgirl. - 14
At men's behest, the Garga clanist's spouse did not let fall (discard)
that unbearable
seed but bore it and delivered a mighty monarch named Kalayavana, the
forequarters
of whose war-steeds resembled oxen. - 15-16
That child grew up in the inner apartments of a childless Yavana king.
Later, he
became famous as Kalayavana. - 17
Eager to fight, he began enquiring of the best of Brahmins about
suitable adversaries.
Narada, who travels everywhere, informed him of the Vrishni and Andhaka
clans. -
18
Then with an army of an akshauhini he attacked Mathura and sent a
messenger to the
dwelling of the Vrishni-Andhakas. - 19
Terrified of Kalayavana, the Vrishni-Andhakas jointly took counsel with
the most
intelligent Krishna. - 20
Finally, they decided to flee and, praying to Pinaki (Shiva), abandoned
delightful
Mathura determining to live in Dvaravati located in Kushasthali. - 21
The Indian Heracles is Hari-Krishna. Dionysos is possibly Siva. (PB)
