Kṛṣṇasya Dvārakā-praveśaḥ — Krishna’s Return to Dvārakā and the Raivataka Festival
ततः खनत एवाथ वित्रर्षरर्धरणीतलम् । नागलोकस्य पन्थानं कर्तुकामस्य निश्चयात्,उत्तंक नागलोकमें जानेका मार्ग बनानेके लिये निश्चय करके धरती खोदते ही जा रहे थे कि महातेजस्वी वज्रधारी इन्द्र घोड़े जुते हुए रथपर बैठकर उस स्थानपर आ पहुँचे और विप्रवर उत्तंकसे मिले
tataḥ khanata evātha vitṛṣarardharaṇītalam | nāgalokasya panthānaṃ kartukāmasya niścayāt |
Vaiśampāyana said: Then, resolved to make a passage to the realm of the Nāgas, Uttanka kept digging into the earth without pause. At that very spot, Indra—the mighty wielder of the thunderbolt—arrived seated on a chariot yoked with horses and encountered the foremost of brāhmaṇas, Uttanka.
