जानन्तोऽस्य प्रकृतिं केशवस्य न्ययोजयन्दस्युवधाय कृष्णम् । स तत्कर्म प्रतिशुश्राव दुष्करमैश्वर्यवान्सिद्धिषु वासुदेवः॥५-४७-७६॥
Knowing Keśava’s nature, they commissioned Kṛṣṇa to bring the marauder to heel. Vāsudeva—endowed with sovereign power and accomplished in successful deeds—accepted and undertook that difficult charge.

निर्मोचने षट्सहस्राणि हत्वा संछिद्य पाशान्सहसा क्षुरान्तान् । मुरं हत्वा विनिहत्यौघराक्षसं निर्मोचनं चापि जगाम वीरः॥५-४७-७७॥
At Nirmocana, after slaying six thousand and swiftly severing the razor-edged bonds, the hero pressed on—having killed Mura and subdued a host of rākṣasas—and thus completed the work at Nirmocana as well.

आहृत्य कृष्णो मणिकुण्डले ते हत्वा च भौमं नरकं मुरं च । श्रिया वृतो यशसा चैव धीमान्प्रत्याजगामाप्रतिमप्रभावः॥५-४७-७९॥
Having recovered those jeweled earrings, and having slain Bhūma (Naraka) and Mura, the wise Kṛṣṇa—encircled by prosperity and renown—returned, endowed with incomparable might.

तस्मै वरानददंस्तत्र देवा दृष्ट्वा भीमं कर्म रणे कृतं तत् । श्रमश्च ते युध्यमानस्य न स्यादाकाशे वा अप्सु चैव क्रमः स्यात्॥५-४७-८०॥
There the gods granted him boons, having witnessed that formidable deed accomplished in battle: “No weariness shall be yours while you contend; and you shall be able to move even through the sky, and likewise through the waters.”
