Sri Mitravinda said: At my svayam-vara ceremony He came forward, defeated all the kings present -- including my brothers, who dared insult Him -- and took me away just as a lion removes his prey from amidst a pack of dogs. Thus Lord Krishna, the shelter of the goddess of fortune, brought me to His capital city. May I be allowed to serve Him by washing His feet, life after life.
