“When the head of the King of Kāśī was thrown through the city gate, people gathered and were astonished to see that wonderful thing. When they found out that there were earrings on it, they could understand that it was someone’s head. They conjectured as to whose head it might be. Some thought it was Kṛṣṇa’s head because Kṛṣṇa was the enemy of Kāśirāja, and they calculated that the King of Kāśī might have thrown Kṛṣṇa’s head into the city so that the people might take pleasure in the enemy’s having been killed. But it was finally detected that the head was not Kṛṣṇa’s but that of Kāśirāja himself.”

«Cuando la cabeza del rey de Kāśī fue arrojada por la puerta de la ciudad, la gente se reunió y quedó asombrada al ver esa cosa maravillosa. Cuando descubrieron que tenía aretes, pudieron entender que era la cabeza de alguien. Conjeturaron de quién podría ser la cabeza. Algunos pensaron que era la cabeza de Kṛṣṇa porque Kṛṣṇa era enemigo de Kāśirāja y calcularon que el rey de Kāśī podría haber arrojado la cabeza de Kṛṣṇa a la ciudad para que la gente pudiera disfrutar de que el enemigo hubiera sido matado. Pero finalmente se detectó que la cabeza no era de Kṛṣṇa sino del propio Kāśirāja».
