दह्वियमाणां तु तां दृष्टवा सुभद्रां सैनिका जना: । विक्रोशन्तो5द्रवन् सर्वे द्वारकामभित: पुरीम्,सुभद्राका अपहरण होता देख समस्त सैनिकगण हल्ला मचाते हुए द्वारकापुरीकी ओर दौड़े गये
dahyamāṇāṃ tu tāṃ dṛṣṭvā subhadrāṃ sainikā janāḥ | vikrośanto 'dravan sarve dvārakām abhitaḥ purīm ||
ครั้นเห็นสุภัทราถูกพาไป เหล่าทหารและชาวเมืองก็โห่ร้องอื้ออึง แล้วพากันวิ่งไปยังนครทวารกาโดยพร้อมเพรียง.
