इत्यादिष्टौ भगवता तौ कृष्णौ परमेष्ठिना । ॐ इत्यानम्य भूमानमादाय द्विजदारकान् ॥ ६० ॥ न्यवर्तेतां स्वकं धाम सम्प्रहृष्टौ यथागतम् । विप्राय ददतु: पुत्रान् यथारूपं यथावय: ॥ ६१ ॥
ity ādiṣṭau bhagavatā tau kṛṣṇau parame-ṣṭhinā om ity ānamya bhūmānam ādāya dvija-dārakān
Thus instructed by the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna assented with the utterance “Om,” bowed to the almighty Mahā-Viṣṇu, and took the brāhmaṇa’s sons with them. Rejoicing, they returned to their abode of Dvārakā by the very path they had come, and there restored the children to the brāhmaṇa in the same infant forms and ages as when they were lost.
