Rājasūya: Agrapūjā for Kṛṣṇa and the Slaying (and Liberation) of Śiśupāla
भगवन्निन्दनं श्रुत्वा दु:सहं तत् सभासद: । कर्णौ पिधाय निर्जग्मु: शपन्तश्चेदिपं रुषा ॥ ३९ ॥
bhagavan-nindanaṁ śrutvā duḥsahaṁ tat sabhā-sadaḥ karṇau pidhāya nirjagmuḥ śapantaś cedi-paṁ ruṣā
భగవంతుని మీద ఇంత అసహ్యమైన నింద విని సభలోని కొందరు చెవులు మూసుకొని బయటికి వెళ్లిపోయారు; కోపంతో చేది రాజును శపించారు.
