అక్కడికి వచ్చి ఆయన వైదర్భి (రుక్మిణీ)తో ఇలా అన్నాడు—“ఇక్కడ ఋషిశ్రేష్ఠుడు వచ్చాడు; ఇతడు అత్రి పుత్రుడు, మహాతపస్వి, తపస్సుతో పాపం దహించినవాడు।”

Type: kshetra
Scene: Kṛṣṇa speaks to Rukmiṇī, gesturing respectfully as he names Durvāsā—Atri’s son—emphasizing the sage’s tapas-born radiance; Rukmiṇī listens attentively, poised to arrange hospitality.
True spiritual authority is marked by tapas; householders honor such sages, recognizing their purity and power.
