Shloka 25
प्रभासे कृष्णार्जुनसमागमः तथा द्वारकाप्रवेशः | Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna Meeting at Prabhāsa and Entry into Dvārakā
द्रष्टकामस्य चात्यर्थ गतया पार्श्चतस्तया । अन्यदज्चितप्झाक्षं दक्षिणं नि:सृतं मुखम्,जब वह दक्षिण पार्श्ववी ओर गयी, तब उसे देखनेकी इच्छासे भगवान् शंकरके दक्षिणभागमें एक और मुख प्रकट हो गया, जो कमलसदृश नेत्रोंसे सुशोभित था
draṣṭukāmasya cātyarthaṃ gatayā pārśvatas tayā | anyad api citrapadma-akṣaṃ dakṣiṇaṃ niḥsṛtaṃ mukham ||
قال نارادا: لمّا مرّت قريبةً جدًّا من جانبه، متلهّفةً إلى رؤيته، برز على يمين الربّ شنكره (شيفا) وجهٌ آخر، متلألئٌ، عيناه كزهرتي لوتس، لكي يتحقّق لها مراد النظر إليه.
