Uttarā-vilāpaḥ and Kṛṣṇasya satya-vacanenābhi-mañyu-jasyābhijīvanam
Uttarā’s Lament and the Revival of Abhimanyu’s Son by Krishna’s Truth-Act
वाक्येनैतेन हि तदा तं जन पुरुषर्षभ: । ह्वादयामास स विभुर्घर्मार्तं सलिलैरिव
vākyenaitena hi tadā taṃ jana-puruṣarṣabhaḥ | āhlādayāmāsa sa vibhur gharmārtaṃ salilair iva ||
उस समय पुरुषश्रेष्ठ, सर्वसमर्थ भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण ने इन्हीं वचनों से उन सबको वैसे ही आनन्दित कर दिया, जैसे धूप से पीड़ित मनुष्य को जल शान्ति देता है।
