Kṛṣṇa Visits Indraprastha; Kuntī’s Remembrance; Kālindī and Further Marriages
तत्रोपस्पृश्य विशदं पीत्वा वारि महारथौ । कृष्णौ ददृशतु: कन्यां चरन्तीं चारुदर्शनाम् ॥ १७ ॥
tatropaspṛśya viśadaṁ pītvā vāri mahā-rathau kṛṣṇau dadṛśatuḥ kanyāṁ carantīṁ cāru-darśanām
នៅទីនោះ មហារថីទាំងពីរ ‘ក្រឹෂ្ណទាំងពីរ’ (ព្រះក្រឹෂ្ណ និង អរជុន) បានងូតទឹក ហើយផឹកទឹកស្អាតថ្លា។ បន្ទាប់មក ពួកគេបានឃើញក្មេងស្រីម្នាក់មានរូបសម្រស់ល្អ កំពុងដើរនៅជិតៗ។
‘Upaspṛśya’ indicates ritual purification by touching or washing with water; here it shows Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma cleansing themselves before continuing their journey.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī narrates that Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, after bathing and drinking clear water, notice a beautiful maiden wandering nearby—setting up the next episode of the chapter.
The verse highlights purity and attentiveness: begin actions with cleanliness (outer and inner) and remain alert to how providence arranges meaningful encounters on one’s path.
