• मित्राण्याशान्मा विरमतेहानेष्ये वत्सकानहम्' ।
इत्युक्त्वाऽद्रिदरीकुञ्जगह्वरेष्वात्मवत्सकान् ।
विचिन्वन् भगवान् कृष्णः सपाणिकवलो ययौ ।
 
"Friends, stop not from enjoying your
repast; I shall bring here the calves."
Having said thus, Lord Krishna went,
with a morsel of food in his hand,
searching for their calves in caves of
mountains, groves and thickets.
 
ततो वत्सानदृष्ट्वैव पुलिनेऽपि च वत्सपान् ।
उभावपि वने कृष्णो विचिकाय समन्ततः ॥
 
Not finding the calves then, and not
finding the cowherds also on the sands,
Krishna searched for both all over the
forest.
 
काव्यदृष्ट्वाऽन्तर्विपिने वत्सान्पालांश्च विश्ववित् ।
सर्व विधिकृतं कृष्णः सहसाऽवजगामह ॥
 
Not finding the calves and the cow-
herds anywhere in the forest, the
omniscient Krishna at once understood
that that was all the doing of God
Brahma.
 
ततः कृष्णो मुदं कर्तुं तन्मातॄणां च कस्य च ।
उभयायितमात्मानं चक्रे विश्वकृदीश्वरः ॥
