Govinda said, You say you are a pilgrim, and I believe you.

And now, Govinda, do you think we are on the right path?

For this reason the deities adore me by the name of Govinda.

At the command of Govinda, the Brahmanas were made to utter benedictions.

From the earliest years Govinda was dearer to Yudhishthira than Arjuna himself.

Both speech and mind, O Govinda, have been concentrated within thy understanding.

Nor art thou alive, O Govinda, since the king desires for peace!'

Govinda listened, rapt, and wanted to ask and hear much more.

Siddhartha awoke as if from slumber when he heard Govinda's words.

I welcome you, Govinda; come spend the night in my hut.

Govinda replied, We have learned much, Siddhartha, and much remains to be learned.

At these words, Govinda was glad and he cried out gaily, How wonderful!

As Govinda was thinking these things, his heart filled with conflict.

I saw this weapon, O Govinda, in the hand of Mahadeva.

But Siddhartha turned him away each time, saying, Be satisfied, Govinda!

He is the slayer of Madhu, and is otherwise called Govinda.
