Kṛṣṇa’s Departure, Auspicious Omens, and the Opening of the Uttaṅka Dialogue (कृष्णप्रयाण-निमित्त-उत्तङ्कसंवाद-प्रारम्भः)
एतत् सर्वमहं सम्यगाचरिष्ये जनार्दन । “सारा जगत् आपमें ही ओत-प्रोत है। एकमात्र आप ही मनुष्योंके अधीश्वर हैं। निष्पाप जनार्दन! आपने मुझपर कृपा करके जो यह उपदेश दिया है, उसका मैं यथावत् पालन करूँगा
etad sarvam ahaṃ samyag ācarīṣye janārdana | sāraṃ jagat tvayi eva ota-protaṃ | ekamātraḥ tvam eva manuṣyāṇām adhīśvaraḥ | niṣpāpa janārdana! tvayā mayi kṛpāṃ kṛtvā yo 'yaṃ upadeśaḥ dattaḥ, tasya ahaṃ yathāvat pālanaṃ kariṣyāmi ||
«Todo esto lo cumpliré rectamente, oh Janārdana. El mundo entero está tejido sólo en ti; sólo tú eres el soberano Señor de los hombres. Janārdana sin mancha de pecado: por compasión me has dado esta enseñanza; la seguiré tal como fue impartida.»
