केशवस्य वचः श्रुत्वा रुक्मो दानवपुंगवः । तं प्रणम्य जगन्नाथं जगाम भवनं पितुः
keśavasya vacaḥ śrutvā rukmo dānavapuṃgavaḥ | taṃ praṇamya jagannāthaṃ jagāma bhavanaṃ pituḥ
Als Rukma —der Vornehmste unter den Dānavas— Keśavas Worte vernahm, verneigte er sich vor Jagannātha und ging in das Haus seines Vaters.
