प्रभासे कृष्णार्जुनसमागमः तथा द्वारकाप्रवेशः | Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna Meeting at Prabhāsa and Entry into Dvārakā
कुर्वत्या तु तदा तत्र मण्डलं तत् प्रदक्षिणम् । इन्द्र: स्थाणुश्व भगवान् धैर्येण प्रत्यवस्थितौ,वहाँ तिलोत्तमाने जब देवमण्डलीकी प्रदक्षिणा आरम्भ की, तब इन्द्र और भगवान् शंकर दोनों धैर्यपूर्वक अपने स्थानपर ही बैठे रहे
kurvatyā tu tadā tatra maṇḍalaṃ tat pradakṣiṇam | indraḥ sthāṇuś ca bhagavān dhairyeṇa pratyavasthitau ||
সেই ঠাইত তিলোত্তমাই যেতিয়া দেৱমণ্ডলীৰ প্ৰদক্ষিণা আৰম্ভ কৰিলে, তেতিয়া ইন্দ্ৰ আৰু ভগৱান স্থাণু (শংকৰ) মাত্ৰ ধৈৰ্যৰে নিজৰ নিজৰ স্থানত অচল হৈ থাকিল।

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores dhairya (steadfast composure) and mastery over the senses: true greatness is shown by remaining inwardly stable and ethically restrained even when surrounded by temptation and social excitement.
Tilottamā begins a pradakṣiṇā around the circle of gods. While the assembly is drawn into the spectacle, Indra and Śiva (Sthāṇu) remain seated/firm in their places, demonstrating exceptional self-possession.
