मार्गे गजाश्वसंबाधे त्रस्ता सा उष्ट्रदर्शनात् । हस्तादाच्छिद्य सा धेनुर्ब्राह्मणस्य ययौ तदा
mārge gajāśvasaṃbādhe trastā sā uṣṭradarśanāt | hastādācchidya sā dhenurbrāhmaṇasya yayau tadā
象や馬で混み合う道中、駱駝の姿に彼女は怯えた。婆羅門の手から身を振りほどき、その牝牛はたちまち走り去った。
Sūta (contextual attribution within Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: A dramatic street scene: elephants and horses crowd the road; a camel appears; the cow startles, jerks free from the brāhmaṇa’s hand, and bolts away, rope trailing.
Even righteous acts face unforeseen disruptions; steadiness and responsible response are part of dharma.
The narrative unfolds in the Dvārakā Māhātmya milieu; the verse itself emphasizes the lived reality around sacred places—roads, travel, and protection.
None; it is a narrative turning point concerning the gifted cow.
