अग्राह्य-ज्ञातिसंबन्धमण्डल-विवेचनम् / Managing Unreadable Kinship Networks: Vāsudeva–Nārada on Cohesion
Devanagari script
बशभ्रूग्रसेनयो राज्यं नाप्तुं शक्यं कथंचन । ज्ञातिभेदभयात् कृष्ण त्वया चापि विशेषत:,श्रीकृष्ण! अक्रूर और उमग्रसेनके अधिकारमें गये हुए राज्यको भाई-बन्धुओंमें फूट पड़नेके भयसे अन्यकी तो कौन कहे इतने शक्तिशाली होकर स्वयं भी आप किसी तरह वापस नहीं ले सकते
Translation
O Krishna, the kingdom that has passed into the hands of Akrūra and Ugrasena cannot be taken back by any means. For fear of a rift among kinsmen, not only others, but even you yourself—mighty as you are—cannot reclaim it.
