CHAPTER 8
Vasudev and Devaki, their eyes reflecting a mixture of joy and sorrow, stood with joined hands in front to their sons, acknowledging their true identities as divine beings. They reach out but stop themselves, feeling unworthy of embracing the lords of the universe in human form.
Understanding that his parents were becoming aware of his transcendental opulences, Krishna thought that this should not be allowed to happen, for this will destroy the love they had for him.
Thus expanding his yogmaya he and Balram humbly bowed their heads.
Krishna said, "Mata, Pitashree.... Hum do putra aapke chintagrast rehne ka karan rahe hai. Aur aap humare baalpan aur kishor awashya ka anand bhi nahi utha paaye. Bhagya ke karan hum dono aapke sneh se vanchit reh gaye. Mata Pita ki sewa, yadi manushya 100 varsho tak bhi kare tab bhi unka hrin utaar nahi sakta. Hum itne varsho aapse dur the Kamsa se trast ho ke, iss liye aapki sewa nahi kar paaye. Iss truti ke liye hume kshama karde."
Balram said, "Ab hum aa gaye hai, toh hume aap apni sewa se vanchit mat kariyega."
Vasudev and Devaki, moved to tears, finally let go of their fears and embrace their beloved sons. With tears of joy, they lift Krishna and Balram into their arms, setting them on their laps. The parents revel in the moment, feeling the weight of the years of separation and hardship disappear.
Devaki's eyes were filled with tears of happiness as she embraced her sons, feeling their warmth and presence after years of separation and suffering. Vasudev, overwhelmed with emotions, held Krishna and Balram tightly in his arms, his heart full of love and pride for his brave sons. He couldn't find the words to express his feelings, but his embrace conveyed all the love and gratitude he felt towards them.
Pouring out a shower of tears upon them, their parents, who were bound up by the rope of affection, could not speak. They were overwhelmed and their throats choked up with tears.
--------
In the quiet hours before dawn, the air is thick with anticipation and reverence as the faithful gather around the grand palace of Mathura.
The faint glow of oil lamps flickers in the darkness, casting long shadows on the ancient walls. The sound of distant drums sets a rhythm for the chants that rise and fall like waves in the sea. As the first hints of light touch the horizon, the figure of Krishna emerges from the shadows, his presence commanding respect and awe.
With grace and solemnity, he leads the people in prayers and hymns, invoking blessings for the return of Ugrasen to the throne. The chants grow louder, echoing through the stillness of the early morning, carrying the hopes and dreams of the people who have long yearned for justice and peace.
The priests, dressed in vibrant traditional attire, bow respectfully before Ugrasen as he sits with anticipation and humility. Their voices rise and fall in perfect harmony, invoking blessings from the divine realms for the rightful ruler's return to power.
Ugrasen, his age evident in the lines etched on his weathered face and the wisdom gleaming in his eyes, sits with dignity as the priests felicitate him, showering petals and sacred water as a mark of respect for his long years of rule.
Krishna stands tall, holding the majestic scepter in his hands, the Rajdand. With his weathered hands trembling, Ugrasen accepts the symbol of power. The weight of the scepter was a reminder of the responsibilities that come with the throne he once lost.
And then, with a gentle touch, Krishna places the ornate crown upon Ugrasen's head, reinstating him as the King of Yadavas once again.
The courtiers and ministers, including Akrur, Satyak, Devabhaag, Prithu, Viprithu, Bhurishrava, and Kritvarma, stood in jubilant anticipation, their faces beaming with joy and relief at witnessing the long-awaited moment of triumph and restoration.
Vasudev and Balram looked on with admiration, proud of Krishna for his noble deeds and unwavering devotion to righteousness. Krishna came and stood beside them, allowing the subordinate rulers to come and present gift to Ugrasen, offering their loyalty. The other sons of Vasudev, his younger brothers, surrounded him, their faces beaming with curiosity and admiration.
"Bhrata Krishna ?" Gad leaned closer to him.
Krishna looked at him with a smile, "Kaho."
"Aapne Kamsa ka vadh kiya tha. Toh Raja kya aapko nahi banna chahiye ?" Gad asked.
Krishna shook his head, "Nahi Anuj. Maharaj Yayati ke shraap ke karan, koi bhi Yaduvanshi vaidhanik roop se raj-singhasan par nahi baith sakta."
Gad got confused, "Kintu kya Bhoj bhi Yadav nahi ? Fir Ugrasen ji kaise baith sakte hai ?"
"Kyuki meri aagya hai." Krishna smiled.
Gad furrowed his brows, trying to comprehend his brother's profound words. Seeing his expression Krishna chuckled and patted his head, "Kisi din samajh jaaoge."

A/N
A big myth is that Krishna was king of Mathura and Dwarka. Well, the thing is Krishna was never a king. Ugrasen was the king and then Vasudev became one. Krishna although called Dwarkadhish, is not the king of Dwarka.
Krishna has always been a king maker.
