जन जदुबंस कृष्न अवतारा । होइहि हरन महा महि भारा ॥
कृष्न-तनय होइहि पति तोरा । बचन अन्यथा होइ न मोरा ॥
jana jadubaṃsa kṛṣna avatārā | hoihi harana mahā mahi bhārā ||
kṛṣna-tanaya hoihi pati torā | bacana anyathā hoi na morā ||

What happens in this chapter
Boon to Rati; the devas come to Shiva
Shiva tells Rati: when Krishna takes avatara in the Yadu line to lift the earth's great burden, your husband will be born as Krishna's son. My word will not fail. Hearing this, Rati leaves. Yajnavalkya now turns to the next episode. The devas get the news, and Brahma and the rest go to Vaikuntha; then all of them, with Vishnu and Brahma, go to Shiva, home of mercy. Each praises him in his own way, and the moon-crested Lord is pleased. The merciful, bull-bannered Shiva asks why the immortals have come. Brahma says: Lord, you know every heart, yet out of devotion I make my request. Every deva has one great longing, Shankara: to see your wedding with their own eyes.
रति गवनी सुनि सङ्कर बानी । कथा अपर अब कहउँ बखानी ॥
देवन्ह समाचार सब पाये । ब्रह्मादिक बैकुंठ सिधाये ॥
rati gavanī suni saṅkara bānī | kathā apara aba kahaum̐ bakhānī ||
devanha samācāra saba pāye | brahmādika baikuṃṭha sidhāye ||
सब सुर बिष्नु बिरञ्चि समेता । गये जहाँ सिव कृपा-निकेता ॥
पृथक पृथक तिन्ह कीन्ह प्रसंसा । भये प्रसन्न चन्द्र-अवतंसा ॥
saba sura biṣnu birañci sametā | gaye jahām̐ siva kṛpā-niketā ||
pṛthaka pṛthaka tinha kīnha prasaṃsā | bhaye prasanna candra-avataṃsā ||
बोले कृपासिन्धु बृषकेतू । कहहु अमर आयहु केहि हेतू ॥
कह बिधि तुम्ह प्रभु अन्तरजामी । तदपि भगति बस बिनवउँ स्वामी ॥
bole kṛpāsindhu bṛṣaketū | kahahu amara āyahu kehi hetū ||
kaha bidhi tumha prabhu antarajāmī | tadapi bhagati basa binavaum̐ svāmī ||
सकल सुरन्ह के हृदयँ अस, सङ्कर परम उछाह ।
निज नयनन्हि देखा चहहिँ, नाथ तुम्हार बिबाह ॥
sakala suranha ke hṛdayam̐ asa, saṅkara parama uchāha |
nija nayananhi dekhā cahahim̐, nātha tumhāra bibāha ||
