गोविंदश्च न तं लेभे शक्तोपि न जहार सः । कदाचिन्मृगयां यातः प्रसेनस्तेन भूषितः
goviṃdaśca na taṃ lebhe śaktopi na jahāra saḥ | kadācinmṛgayāṃ yātaḥ prasenastena bhūṣitaḥ
گووند بھی اسے حاصل نہ کر سکے؛ باقدرت ہونے کے باوجود انہوں نے اسے چھینا نہیں۔ ایک بار پرسین اسی سے آراستہ ہو کر شکار کو نکلا۔

FAQs
Govinda is a well-known epithet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, indicating the divine protector and lord associated with Vaishnava narratives.
It states that Govinda did not obtain (or seize) a certain object, and that Prasena later went hunting while wearing/adorned with it.
The verse highlights restraint and non-seizure even when one has the power, setting up a narrative where possession and its consequences unfold through later events.
