स्कंद उवाच । शृणुष्व मैत्रावरुणे द्वारवत्यां यदूद्वहः । दानवानां वधार्थाय भुवोभारापनुत्तये
skaṃda uvāca | śṛṇuṣva maitrāvaruṇe dvāravatyāṃ yadūdvahaḥ | dānavānāṃ vadhārthāya bhuvobhārāpanuttaye
Skanda bersabda: “Dengarlah, wahai Maitrāvaruṇa! Di Dvāravatī, yang terunggul dalam keturunan Yadu (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) menzahirkan diri untuk membinasakan para Dānava dan meringankan beban bumi.”
Skanda

Dvāravatī (Dvārakā), presented as the setting for Kṛṣṇa’s manifest purpose.
No explicit ritual; it introduces a narrative of avatāra and cosmic purpose.
