Shloka 3
द्वारवत्यां समासीन पुरा मां कुरुनन्दन । प्रद्युम्न: परिपप्रच्छ ब्राह्म॒णैः परिकोपित:
Dvāravatyāṃ samāsīnaḥ purā māṃ Kurunandana | Pradyumnaḥ paripapraccha brāhmaṇaiḥ parikopitaḥ ||
Dijo Vāyu: “Oh alegría de los Kurus, hace mucho tiempo, cuando yo residía en Dvāravatī, mi hijo Pradyumna—airado porque ciertos brāhmaṇas lo habían provocado—vino a mí y me interrogó.”
