Kṛṣṇasya Dvārakā-praveśaḥ — Krishna’s Return to Dvārakā and the Raivataka Festival

Devanagari script

ह्वियमाणे तु दृष्टवा स कुण्डले भुजगेन ह,सर्पके द्वारा कुण्डलोंका अपहरण होता देख उत्तंक मुनि उद्विग्न हो उठे और अत्यन्त क्रोधमें भरकर वृक्षसे कूद पड़े। आकर एक काठका डंडा हाथमें ले उसीसे उस बाँबीको खोदने लगे

Transliteration

hviyamāṇe tu dṛṣṭvā sa kuṇḍale bhujagena ha

Translation

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Seeing the serpent carry off the earrings, the sage Uttaṅka was shaken with alarm. Overwhelmed by fierce anger, he leapt down from the tree, seized a wooden staff, and began digging at the anthill—driven by duty to recover what had been taken and to set right an act of wrongful seizure.
