Śoka-śamana: Kṛṣṇa’s Consolation and Nārada’s Exempla to Sṛñjaya
Chapter 29
अमोघदर्शिन् मम चेत् प्रसाद॑ संतापदग्धस्य विभो प्रकुर्या: । सुतस्य सञ्जीवनमद्य मे स्यात् तव प्रसादात् सुतसड़मश्च
amoghadarśin mama cet prasādaṃ santāpadagdhasya vibho prakuryāḥ | sutasya sañjīvanam adya me syāt tava prasādāt suta-saṅgamaś ca ||
यृञ्जय बोले— हे अमोघदर्शी प्रभो! मैं पुत्र-शोक के संताप से दग्ध हो रहा हूँ। यदि आप मुझ पर कृपा करें, तो आज मेरा पुत्र फिर जीवित हो सकता है; और आपके प्रसाद से मुझे पुनः उसके मिलन का सुख प्राप्त हो जाए।
