Vasudeva and Devakī Glorify Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma; The Recovery of Devakī’s Six Sons from Sutala
चिरान्मृतसुतादाने गुरुणा किल चोदितौ । आनिन्यथु: पितृस्थानाद् गुरवे गुरुदक्षिणाम् ॥ ३२ ॥ तथा मे कुरुतं कामं युवां योगेश्वरेश्वरौ । भोजराजहतान् पुत्रान् कामये द्रष्टुमाहृतान् ॥ ३३ ॥
cirān mṛta-sutādāne guruṇā kila coditau āninyathuḥ pitṛ-sthānād gurave guru-dakṣiṇām
聞くところによれば、霊的師が久しく亡き子を取り戻せと命じたとき、あなたがたは祖霊の住処から彼を連れ帰り、師への報恩としてグル・ダクシナーを捧げられた。あらゆるヨーガ師の主よ、同じく私の願いも成就してください。ボージャ王に殺された我が子らを連れ戻し、再び見せてください。
