TRANSLATION

Lord Balarama, however, cooled the tempers of the Vrsni heroes, who had already put on their armor. He who purifies the age of quarrel did not want a quarrel between the Kurus and Vrsnis. Thus, accompanied by brahmanas and family elders, He went to Hastinapura on His chariot, which was as effulgent as the sun. As He went, He appeared like the moon surrounded by the ruling planets.
