tvayā vimohitātmāno bhrāmyantyajabhavādayaḥ | sā kathaṃ kṣubhyasi tvaṃ tu kiṃ svadhāma na budhyase
«بكِ يَضلّ حتى براهما وسائر العظماء فيهيمون. فكيف تضطربين أنتِ؟ أما تعرفين مقامكِ الذاتي—طبيعتكِ الحقيقية—أفلا تعينين؟»
Govinda (Śrī Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra

Scene: Kṛṣṇa points beyond the immediate drama to a cosmic vista: Brahmā and other beings wandering in delusion; then turns back, urging Devī to remember her own abode/nature.
