Kṛṣṇa Swallows the Forest Fire (Dāvāgni-līlā) and Restores the Herd
ता आहूता भगवता मेघगम्भीरया गिरा । स्वनाम्नां निनदं श्रुत्वा प्रतिनेदु: प्रहर्षिता: ॥ ६ ॥
tā āhūtā bhagavatā megha-gambhīrayā girā sva-nāmnāṁ ninadaṁ śrutvā pratineduḥ praharṣitāḥ
భగవంతుడు మేఘగర్జనలా గంభీరమైన స్వరంతో వాటిని పిలిచాడు. తమ తమ పేర్ల ధ్వని విని గోవులు పరవశించి ఆనందంతో ప్రతిగా రంభించాయి।
