If dharma in the form of sacrifices and rituals is observed for fulfilling
some desires, it is useless since the results are perishable. If dharma is
observed without any desires, it gives wealth in the form of eternal good
fortune. You are manifested in both these forms of dharma. You are the same
in all states. I seek refuge in the lord, who does penance, wearing the
trident.

indra and upendra, gods with great souls, will return to their normal
state. But janArdana (kR^iShNa), having righteous soul will definitely take
away the pArijAta tree.
apadhyAto mahendro hi muninA devasharmaNaH |
asyAkA~NkShatpurA bhAryAM tapodIptasya kashyapa ||2-72-64
kashyapa! Long ago, the great indra was cursed by sage devasharma
since indra desired to have the wife of the sage, dazzling with penance.
This is the reason for his present defeat.
gamyatAM tatra dharmaj~na dAkShAyaNyA saha tvayA |
adityA shakrasadanaM shreyaste putrayordhruvam ||2-72-65
O the one who knows dharma! Please proceed there, along with the daughter of
dakSha, aditi, to the house of shakra (indra). Definitely, both sons of
yours will be prosperous.
iti harivachanaM nishamya vidvAn
kamalabhavAtmajasUnuraprameyaH |

Hearing these words of shiva, the wise grandson of the one who was born in a
lotus, immensely powerful sage kashyapa, bowed to the preceptor of lords,
shiva and returned to heaven with a happy mind.

Thus this is the seventy-second chapter of viShNuparva, harivaMsha, khila of
mahAbhArata, in the capture of pArijAta, hymn to rudra by kashyapa.
