sri-bahulacva uvaca

ko 'yam pura pancajano
daityah cagkha-vapur-dharah
tasya cagkho babhau brahman
sri-krsna-kara-pagkaje

Sri Bahulacva said: The demon Pancajana, who had the body of a conch, became the conchshell in Lord Krsna's lotus hand. Who was he in his previous birth?

Text 21

sri-narada uvaca

puraivaitany upaggani
cakradini videha-rat
trailokya-nathasya harer
babhuvus tejasa hrtah

Sri Narada said: O king of Videha, Lord Krsna, the master of the three worlds, obtained His conch and other paraphernalia long ago by His own prowess.

Text 22

tesam cagkhah pancajanyah
prapto rajan mahat-padam
papau tan-mukha-lagno 'sau
sri-krsnasyadharamrtam

O king, among them the conchshell Pancajanya was especially exalted. Touching His mouth, again and again he would drink the nectar of Lord Krsna's lips.

Text 23

akaroc caikada manam
manasi praha cagkha-rat
grhito 'ham hi harina
rajahamsa-sama-dyutih

Then one day he became proud and in his heart he said to himself: "I am the king of conchshells. I am effulgent as the king of swans. Lord Krsna personally holds me.

Text 24

sri-krsno daksinavartam
dadhmau mam vijaye sati
yad durlabham cabdhi-putryah
sri-krsnasyadharamrtam

"When He is victorious, Sri Krsna points me to the south and makes a great sound through me. At that moment I drink the nectar of Lord Krsna's lips, which is diificult even for the goddess of fortune to obtain.

Texts 25 and 26

tat tasmat sarva-mukhyo 'smi
pibamy aham ahar-nicam
iti mana-yutam cagkham
pancajanyam videha-rat

cacapa laksmis tam krodhat
tvam daityo bhava durmate
so 'pi pancajano nama
daityo 'bhut saritam patau

"Therefore I am the most important of all. Day and night I drink the nectar of Lord Krsna's lips."
The goddess of fortune then angrily cursed him, Fool! Become a demon! You will become a demon named Pa 24cajana and you will live in the ocean."

Text 27

vaira-bhavena devecam
punah prapto darecvarah
jyotir linam tu devece
vapur yasya kare babhau
aho bhagyam viddhi tasya
kim bhuyah crotum icchasi

As the king of conches, he approached the Lord as an enemy. Although at first he merged into the Lord, he again became the conchshell in the Lord's hand. You should know that he is very fortunate. What more do you wish to hear?
