कालियदमना: यमुनाशुद्धिः, करुणा-निग्रहः, स्तुति-तत्त्वम्
नात्र स्थेयं त्वया सर्प कदाचिद् यमुनाजले सभृत्यपरिवारस् त्वं समुद्रसलिलं व्रज
nātra stheyaṃ tvayā sarpa kadācid yamunājale sabhṛtyaparivāras tvaṃ samudrasalilaṃ vraja
হে সর্প, যমুনার জলে তোমার কখনও থাকা উচিত নয়। দাস-অনুচর ও সমগ্র পরিবারসহ অবিলম্বে সমুদ্রের জলে চলে যাও।
Sri Krishna (addressing the serpent Kāliya)
It portrays Krishna’s divine sovereignty restoring purity and safety to a sacred river, re-establishing dharma by removing a disruptive force from its proper domain.
Krishna speaks as the ultimate ruler of creation, issuing a direct, non-negotiable command that relocates Kāliya—showing that even powerful beings must submit to divine order.
The verse emphasizes Vishnu’s role as Supreme Reality who governs the moral and cosmic balance—protecting devotees and sanctifying the world through decisive intervention.
