Thirty-Seventh Chapter
DEPARTURE OF DENIZENS OF DWARKA FOR PRABAS
When all the people of the Jadu clan, men, women, and children have got in the Pushpak chariot, the charioteers glided the chariot high up in the sky without a hitch. It was like the gentle rising of the sun in the sky in morning. It floated in the void as smoothly as duck swims in water.
All the Jadav men, like crores of the sun were seated elegantly on one side, separately from the Jadav women on the other side. These ladies were all dolled up in beautiful dresses, radiating natural beauty and confidence like lotus flowers in the pond that open magnificently with the rising sun.
The royal ladies like the goddesses Saraswati and Laksmi, numbering sixteen thousand and one hundred and eight, were headed by Rukmini, Satyabhama, Sushila, Kalindi, Ram’s wife Berty, Kam’s wife Rati, Krishna’s granddaughter Usha and others, were gathered in this exotic chariot.
The spectacle was worth mentioning. It was aristocratic, privileged and aesthetic. It was as if the sun and moon were shining simultaneously up in the sky, inviting the lotuses and waterlilies to open in the water below. Such was the pageant that had never been seen before.
The chariot flew faster than the wind, past many locations and ultimately arrived in Prabas. One and all in the chariot were mesmerized by the majesty, opulence, and nobility of the castle.
