darśayanto bhayaṃ tīvraṃ prādurbhūtāḥ samantataḥ | taṃ tathāvādinaṃ kṛṣṇā pratyuvāca manasvinī | priyā priyaṃ cikīrṣantī mahiṣī cāru-hāsinī

Por doquier se manifestaron señales aterradoras, mostrando un temor intenso. Entonces Kṛṣṇā—de ánimo firme, la amada reina de sonrisa suave—respondió a quien hablaba de ese modo, deseosa de hacer lo que fuera grato y beneficioso.
