Kṛṣṇa Defeats Bāṇāsura and Receives Śiva’s Prayers
The Śoṇitapura Battle and the Jvara Episode
श्रीभगवानुवाच त्रिशिरस्ते प्रसन्नोऽस्मि व्येतु ते मज्ज्वराद् भयम् । यो नौ स्मरति संवादं तस्य त्वन्न भवेद् भयम् ॥ २९ ॥
śrī-bhagavān uvāca tri-śiras te prasanno ’smi vyetu te maj-jvarād bhayam yo nau smarati saṁvādaṁ tasya tvan na bhaved bhayam
Tuhan Yang Maha Esa berfirman: Wahai yang berkepala tiga, Aku berkenan kepadamu. Semoga lenyap ketakutanmu terhadap senjata demam-Ku. Dan sesiapa yang mengingati perbualan kita ini tidak akan takut kepadamu.
Here the Lord accepts the Śiva-jvara as His devotee and gives him his first order — that he should never frighten, by hot fever, those who faithfully hear this pastime of the Lord’s.
