Kṛṣṇa Visits Trivakrā; Akrūra’s Praise and the Hastināpura Mission
सानङ्गतप्तकुचयोरुरसस्तथाक्ष्णो- र्जिघ्रन्त्यनन्तचरणेन रुजो मृजन्ती । दोर्भ्यां स्तनान्तरगतं परिरभ्य कान्त- मानन्दमूर्तिमजहादतिदीर्घतापम् ॥ ७ ॥
sānaṅga-tapta-kucayor urasas tathākṣṇor jighranty ananta-caraṇena rujo mṛjantī dorbhyāṁ stanāntara-gataṁ parirabhya kāntam ānanda-mūrtim ajahād ati-dīrgha-tāpam
Rien qu’en respirant le parfum des pieds de lotus de Kṛṣṇa, Trivakrā effaça l’ardeur du désir que Kāma avait allumée dans ses seins, sa poitrine et ses yeux. Puis, de ses deux bras, elle étreignit entre ses seins son bien-aimé Śrī Kṛṣṇa, forme même de la béatitude, et renonça ainsi à sa longue souffrance.
