Kemudian Tuhan membawa pulang semua kerabat dekat-Nya yang telah melarikan diri ke berbagai penjuru karena takut kepada Kaṁsa. Ia menyambut Yadu, Vṛṣṇi, Andhaka, Madhu, Dāśārha, Kukura dan klan lainnya dengan hormat, menghibur mereka yang letih oleh hidup di negeri asing, lalu Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Pencipta alam semesta, menempatkan mereka kembali di rumah-rumah mereka dan memuaskan mereka dengan anugerah berharga.
