Prabhāsa-tīrthe Vṛṣṇi–Pāṇḍava-saṅgamaḥ; Halī Rāmasya dharma-vimarśaḥ
Meeting at Prabhāsa and Balarāma’s Reflection on Dharma
वैशम्पायन उवाच प्रभासतीर्थ सम्प्राप्य पुण्यं तीर्थ महोदथे: । वृष्णय: पाण्डवान् वीरा: परिवार्योपतस्थिरे,वैशम्पायनजीने कहा--राजन्! प्रभासक्षेत्र समुद्र-तटवर्ती एक पुण्यमय तीर्थ है। वहाँ जाकर वृष्णिवंशी वीर पाण्डवोंको चारों ओरसे घेरकर बैठ गये
vaiśampāyana uvāca | prabhāsatīrthaṃ samprāpya puṇyaṃ tīrthaṃ mahodadheḥ | vṛṣṇayaḥ pāṇḍavān vīrāḥ parivāryopatasthire ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Having reached Prabhāsa-tīrtha, a sacred ford on the shore of the great ocean, the heroic Vṛṣṇis surrounded the Pāṇḍavas on all sides and stood (attended) around them—signaling fellowship, protection, and respectful companionship at a holy place.
