Dandakam*:

 

Thinking thus the brahmin treaded on happily to see Hari. He passed cities. Paused here and there.

His mind hovered at the luminance of the dust of Krishna's feet, who is the foe of Madhu.

 

The brahmin saw many dwelling houses in the midst of ocean. Mind eagerly enjoyed in full capacity.

The charm of the walls, lustre of the windows with gems periphery, all became visible.

 

He saw the shops, Yadava’s houses and many other houses also.

Even Anantha will fail in describing the prosperity of Dwarka.

 

Thus thinking, he moved faster with devotion. Became more glorified. All grievances vanished.

Reciting the holy names of Krishna and bathing in the ocean of devotion he approached Dwaraka.
