[Ipinagpatuloy ni Śukadeva Gosvāmī:] O Hari, saka kinausap ni Acyuta, ang Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa na anak ni Devakī, ang hari ng mga oso na nakaunawa na ng katotohanan. Hinipo ng Panginoong may matang-loto si Jāmbavān sa Kanyang kamay na nagbibigay-basbas, at sa sukdulang habag ay nagsalita sa Kanyang deboto sa tinig na malalim at umuugong na parang ulap.
