रथमन्वानयत् तस्मै सुपर्णोच्छितकेतनम् । दारुकने उस शंखध्वनिको सुनकर भगवान्के संदेशको स्मरण करके तुरंत ही उनके लिये अपना रथ ला दिया, जिसपर गरुड़चिह्से युक्त ऊँची ध्वजा फहरा रही थी
ratham anvānayat tasmai suparṇocchitaketanam |
Sanjaya berkata: Mendengar bunyi sangkha dan mengingat titah Sang Bhagavān, Dāruka segera membawakan baginya kereta perang itu—berpanji tinggi dengan lambang Garuḍa.

Educational Q&A
Prompt, disciplined action rooted in remembrance of the Lord’s instruction: devotion expresses itself as timely service and readiness to perform one’s assigned duty, especially in crisis.
After the conch is heard, Dāruka—Kṛṣṇa’s charioteer—remembers the Lord’s directive and at once brings the chariot distinguished by a high standard bearing Garuḍa’s emblem.
