इत्थं विवेचयंश्चित्ते कृष्णः क्रोधनदीरयम् । विवेकसेतुनाऽस्तभ्य नारदं प्राहिणोत्सुधीः
itthaṃ vivecayaṃścitte kṛṣṇaḥ krodhanadīrayam | vivekasetunā'stabhya nāradaṃ prāhiṇotsudhīḥ
Así, meditando en su corazón, el sabio Kṛṣṇa contuvo el río impetuoso de la ira con el puente del discernimiento, y entonces despachó a Nārada.
