Shloka 21
Kṛṣṇa’s Departure, Auspicious Omens, and the Opening of the Uttaṅka Dialogue (कृष्णप्रयाण-निमित्त-उत्तङ्कसंवाद-प्रारम्भः)
अहं च प्रीयमाणेन त्वया देवकिनन्दन । यदुक्तस्तत् करिष्यामि न हि मे5त्र विचारणा
ahaṁ ca prīyamāṇena tvayā devakīnandana | yad uktaḥ tat kariṣyāmi na hi me 'tra vicāraṇā ||
Вайшампаяна сказал: «О сын Деваки, раз ты обратился ко мне с ласковой благосклонностью, я непременно исполню в точности то, о чём ты просишь. В этом деле мне не о чем раздумывать».
