एकदा प्राविशद् गोष्ठं शार्दूलो निशि वर्षति । शयाना गाव उत्थाय भीतास्ता बभ्रमुर्व्रजे ॥ ४ ॥
ekadā prāviśad goṣṭhaṁ śārdūlo niśi varṣati śayānā gāva utthāya bhītās tā babhramur vraje
ある雨の夜、虎が牛舎に入り込んだ。虎を見た横たわっていた牛たちは恐れて立ち上がり、牧地のあちこちへ散り散りに走った。
It means “a tiger entered the cow-pen,” describing a sudden threat that causes fear and disorder among the cows.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī speaks this verse while narrating to King Parīkṣit.
It highlights how fear can create confusion and restless movement—encouraging steadiness, alertness, and seeking proper shelter/protection when danger arises.
