Protégés par les bras du Seigneur Kṛṣṇa et du Seigneur Saṅkarṣaṇa, les membres de ces clans sentirent leurs désirs comblés; ainsi, dans leurs foyers, ils goûtèrent une félicité parfaite. Par la présence de Kṛṣṇa et de Balarāma, la fièvre du saṃsāra s’éteignit. Chaque jour, avec amour, ils contemplaient le visage-lotus de Mukunda, toujours joyeux, orné de regards souriants pleins de miséricorde.
