Shloka 3
गोप्रदानविधिः (Gopradāna-vidhi) — Procedure and Praise of Cow-Gifting
द्वारवत्यां यथा चासौ निविशन्त्यां समुद्धृत: । मोक्षहेतुरभूत् कृष्णस्तदप्यवधृतं मया
dvāravatyāṃ yathā cāsau niviśantyāṃ samuddhṛtaḥ | mokṣahetur abhūt kṛṣṇas tad apy avadhṛtaṃ mayā ||
Aku juga telah memahami dengan jelas bagaimana ia diselamatkan ketika Dvāravatī sedang didirikan, dan bahwa Śrī Kṛṣṇa-lah sebab penentu dari pembebasan itu. Semua hal ini telah kudengar dengan saksama dan kupahami maknanya.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that deliverance (mokṣa or rescue from peril) is ultimately attributed to Kṛṣṇa as the effective cause, and it models the ethical discipline of attentive listening and firm comprehension before drawing conclusions.
Yudhiṣṭhira states that he has understood an account describing how someone was rescued at the time Dvāravatī (Dvārakā) was being established, and that Kṛṣṇa was the key agent behind that rescue.
