Arjuna’s Northern Conquests and Tribute Collection
ते वै रत्नभुजं कृष्णं रत्नाह: पृथिवीश्वरा: । राजानकश्षक्रुरासाद्य मोक्षिता महतो भयात्,उस महान् भयसे छूटे हुए रत्नभोगी नरेशोंने भगवान् श्रीकृष्णसे मिलकर उन्हें विविध रत्नोंसे युक्त कर दिया
te vai ratnabhujam kṛṣṇaṃ ratnāḥ pṛthivīśvarāḥ | rājānakaś śakrur āsādya mokṣitā mahato bhayāt ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: Jene Könige der Erde, vom großen Schrecken befreit, traten zu Kṛṣṇa—berühmt als Genießer und Spender kostbarer Schätze—und überreichten ihm aus Dankbarkeit und Ehrfurcht vielerlei Juwelen.
