इत्यादिष्टौ भगवता तौ कृष्णौ परमेष्ठिना । ॐ इत्यानम्य भूमानमादाय द्विजदारकान् ॥ ६० ॥ न्यवर्तेतां स्वकं धाम सम्प्रहृष्टौ यथागतम् । विप्राय ददतु: पुत्रान् यथारूपं यथावय: ॥ ६१ ॥

Thus instructed by the Supreme Lord of the topmost planet, Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna assented by chanting om, and then they bowed down to almighty Lord Mahā-Viṣṇu. Taking the brāhmaṇa’s sons with them, they returned with great delight to Dvārakā by the same path along which they had come. There they presented the brāhmaṇa with his sons, who were in the same infant bodies in which they had been lost.
