Shloka 26
प्रभासे कृष्णार्जुनसमागमः तथा द्वारकाप्रवेशः | Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna Meeting at Prabhāsa and Entry into Dvārakā
पृष्ठत: परिवर्तन्त्या पश्चिमं नि:सृतं मुखम् । गतया चोत्तरं पार्श्वमुत्तरं नि:सृतं मुखम्,जब वह पीछेकी ओर गयी, तब उनका पश्चिम मुख प्रकट हुआ और उत्तर पार््वकी ओर उसके जानेपर भगवान् शिवके उत्तरवर्ती मुखका प्राकट्य हुआ
pṛṣṭhataḥ parivartantyā paścimaṃ niḥsṛtaṃ mukham | gatayā cottaraṃ pārśvam uttaraṃ niḥsṛtaṃ mukham ||
Nārada sagte: „Als sie sich nach hinten wandte, offenbarte sich das westliche Antlitz. Und als sie zur Nordseite ging, trat ebenso das nördliche Antlitz hervor.“

Educational Q&A
The verse conveys the idea of the deity’s all-directional, multi-aspected presence: as the devotee/figure changes direction, corresponding divine faces manifest, suggesting omniscience and lordship over all quarters.
Nārada narrates a theophanic moment in which, as ‘she’ turns or moves toward different directions (rear/west and then north), distinct faces of the Lord become visible—first the western face, then the northern face.
