उत्पातदर्शनम् — Portents and Kāla among the Vṛṣṇis
ततः प्रभासे न्यवसन् यथोद्दिष्टं यथागृहम् | प्रभूतभक्ष्यपेयास्ते सदारा यादवास्तदा,उस समय स्त्रियोंसहित समस्त यदुवंशी प्रभासक्षेत्रमें पहुँचकर अपने-अपने अनुकूल घरोंमें ठहर गये। उनके साथ खाने-पीनेकी बहुत-सी सामग्री थी
tataḥ prabhāse nyavasan yathoddiṣṭaṃ yathāgṛham | prabhūtabhakṣyapeyās te sadārā yādavās tadā ||
ततः प्रभासे न्यवसन् यथोद्दिष्टं यथागृहम्। प्रभूतभक्ष्यपेयास्ते सदारा यादवास्तदा॥
