Uttarā’s Lament and the Revival of Abhimanyu’s Son by Krishna’s Truth-Act

ततः स प्राविशत्‌ तूर्ण जन्मवेश्म पितुस्तव । अर्चितं पुरुषव्याप्र सितैर्माल्यैर्यथाविधि,पुरुषसिंह! तदनन्तर भगवान्‌ श्रीकृष्ण तुरंत ही तुम्हारे पिताके जन्मस्थान-- सूतिकागारमें गये; जो सफेद फूलोंकी मालाओंसे विधिपूर्वक सजाया गया था

tataḥ sa prāviśat tūṛṇaṃ janmaveśma pitus tava | arcitaṃ puruṣavyāghra sitair mālyair yathāvidhi ||

それから彼は、汝の父の誕生の間—産屋—へと、たちまち足早に入った。おお、人中の虎よ。その場所は作法にかなって敬われ、白き花鬘をもってしかるべく飾られていた。そこには場の清浄と神聖、そして吉祥の慣例を怠りなく守る心が刻まれていたのである。
