अध्याय ८२ — केशवप्रयाणे निमित्तदर्शनम्

Omens and Reception During Keśava’s Departure

Devanagari script

ते हया वासुदेवस्य दारुकेण प्रचोदिता: । पन्थानमाचेमुरिव ग्रसमाना इवाम्बरम्‌,दारुकके हाँकनेपर भगवान्‌ वासुदेवके वे अश्व इतने वेगसे चलने लगे, मानो समस्त मार्गको पी रहे हों और आकाशको ग्रस लेना चाहते हों

Transliteration

te hayā vāsudevasya dārukeṇa pracoditāḥ | panthānam ācemur iva grasamānā ivāmbaram ||

Translation

Vaiśampāyana said: Urged on by Dāruka, Vāsudeva’s horses surged forward with such speed that it seemed as though they were drinking up the entire road and were about to swallow the sky itself. The image underscores Kṛṣṇa’s purposeful haste and the controlled power of his charioteer as events move toward an unavoidable confrontation.
