उत्पातदर्शनम् — Portents and Kāla among the Vṛṣṇis

युक्त रथं दिव्यमादित्यवर्ण हया हरन्‌ पश्यतो दारुकस्य । ते सागरस्योपरिष्टादवर्तन्‌ मनोजवाश्नतुरो वाजिमुख्या:,भगवानका जो सूर्यके समान तेजस्वी और जुता हुआ दिव्य रथ था, उसे दारुकके देखते-देखते घोड़े उड़ा ले गये। वे मनके समान वेगशाली चारों श्रेष्ठ घोड़े समुद्रके जलके ऊपर-ऊपरसे ही चले गये

yukta-rathaṁ divyam āditya-varṇa-hayā haran paśyato dārukasya | te sāgarasyopariṣṭād avartan mano-javāś caturō vāji-mukhyāḥ ||

ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。ダールカの目の前で、思いのごとく疾い四頭の名馬が、太陽のように輝く、すでに繋がれた神の戦車を運び去った。彼らは海の水面の上を走り抜け、まるで海さえも、主の御旨に捧げられたものを妨げ得ぬかのようであった。この光景は、ヤーダヴァ滅亡ののち神性が人界から退くこと、そして劫時(kāla)が転ずるとき、忠実な従者でさえ無力であることを示す。

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the sovereignty of kāla and the withdrawal of divine supports from the world: even sacred instruments (the divine chariot and its horses) depart when their cosmic role is complete, reminding listeners not to cling to power or protection as permanent.

As Dāruka watches, the four sun-bright, thought-swift horses carry away the divine chariot, moving over the ocean’s surface—an extraordinary sign that the Lord’s celestial possessions are leaving the human sphere in the Mausala Parva’s closing events.
