प्रभवौ सर्वविद्यानां सर्वज्ञौ जगदीश्वरौ। नान्यसिद्धामलं ज्ञानं गूहमानौ नरेहितैः
Though they are the source of all knowledge, all-knowing, and Lords of the universe, they concealed their flawless wisdom, behaving as ordinary humans.
अथो गुरुकुले वासमिच्छन्तावुपजग्मतुः। काश्यं सान्दीपनिं नाम ह्यवन्तिपुरवासिनम्
Desiring to reside in a teacher’s house, they approached Sandipani of Kashi, who lived in Avanti.
यथोपसाद्य तौ दान्तौ गुरौ वृत्तिमनिन्दिताम्। ग्राहयन्तावुपेतौ स्म भक्त्या देवमिवादृतौ
Having properly approached their teacher with self-control, they served him blamelessly, learning from him with devotion, as if he were a god.
तयोर्द्विजवरस्तुष्टः शुद्धभावानुवृत्तिभिः। प्रोवाच वेदानखिलान् साङ्गोपनिषदो गुरुः
The foremost of the twice-born, being pleased by their pure and devoted conduct, instructed them in all the Vedas with their branches and Upanishads, as their teacher.
सरहस्यं धनुर्वेदं धर्मान्न्यायपथांस्तथा। तथा चान्वीक्षिकीं विद्यां राजनीतिं च षड्विधाम्
He taught them the secret Dhanurveda, the principles of righteousness and the paths of justice, as well as the science of reasoning and the sixfold science of royal governance.
सर्वं नरवरश्रेष्ठौ सर्वविद्याप्रवर्तकौ। सकृन्निगदमात्रेण तौ सञ्जगृहतुर्नृप
Those two best among men, initiators of all knowledge, comprehended everything at once, merely from a single utterance, O King.
अहोरात्रैश्चतुःषष्ट्या संयत्तौ तावतीः कलाः*। गुरुदक्षिणयाचार्यं छन्दयामासतुर्नृप
In just sixty-four days and nights, they mastered all those arts; then, as their teacher’s fee, they asked their preceptor what he desired.
द्विजस्तयोस्तं महिमानमद्भुतं संलक्ष्य राजन्नतिमानुषीं मतिम्। सम्मन्त्र्य पत्न्या स महार्णवे मृतं बालं प्रभासे वरयां बभूव ह
Observing their wondrous and superhuman intelligence, the twice-born, after consulting with his wife, requested as their fee the return of his son who had died at Prabhasa in the great ocean.
तथेत्यथारुह्य महारथौ रथं प्रभासमासाद्य दुरन्तविक्रमौ। वेलामुपव्रज्य निषीदतुः क्षणं सिन्धुर्विदित्वार्हणमाहरत्तयोः
Agreeing, those two of mighty valor ascended their great chariot, reached Prabhasa, approached the shore, and sat for a moment; the ocean, recognizing them, brought offerings of respect.
तमाह भगवानाशु गुरुपुत्रः प्रदीयताम्। योऽसाविह त्वया ग्रस्तो बालको महतोर्मिणा
The Lord spoke: 'O Ocean, quickly give the son who was swallowed here by you, seized by a great wave.'
श्रीसमुद्र उवाच। न चाहार्षमहं देव दैत्यः पञ्चजनो महान्। अन्तर्जलचरः कृष्ण शङ्खरूपधरोऽसुरः
The Ocean replied: 'O Lord, I did not take him; the great demon Panchajana, who dwells in the waters in the form of a conch, seized him, O Krishna.'
आस्ते तेनाहृतो नूनं तच्छ्रुत्वा सत्वरं प्रभुः। जलमाविश्य तं हत्वा नापश्यदुदरेऽर्भकम्
Hearing this, the Lord swiftly entered the water, slew that being, but did not find the boy within its belly.
तदङ्गप्रभवं शङ्खमादाय रथमागमत्। ततः संयमनीं नाम यमस्य दयितां पुरीम्
Taking the conch that had arisen from its body, he returned to his chariot and then went to the city called Samyamani, beloved of Yama.
गत्वा जनार्दनः शङ्खं प्रदध्मौ सहलायुधः। शङ्खनिर्ह्रादमाकर्ण्य प्रजासंयमनो यमः
Having arrived, Janardana, together with his weapons, sounded the conch; hearing its loud blast, Yama, the restrainer of beings, took notice.
तयोः सपर्यां महतीं चक्रे भक्त्युपबृंहिताम्। उवाचावनतः कृष्णं सर्वभूताशयालयम् । लीलामनुष्ययोर्विष्णो युवयोः करवाम किम्
He offered them great worship, enhanced by devotion, bowed to Krishna, the abode of all beings’ hearts, and said: 'O Vishnu, who acts in human form, what shall we do for you both?'
श्रीभगवानुवाच। गुरुपुत्रमिहानीतं निजकर्मनिबन्धनम्। आनयस्व महाराज मच्छासनपुरस्कृतः
The Blessed Lord said: 'The son of our teacher, brought here by the bonds of his own deeds, O great king, bring him forth, commanded by my order.'
तथेति तेनोपानीतं गुरुपुत्रं यदूत्तमौ। दत्त्वा स्वगुरवे भूयो वृणीष्वेति तमूचतुः
Saying 'so be it,' Yama brought forth the teacher’s son to the best of the Yadus; after giving him to their teacher, they again asked him to choose a boon.
श्रीगुरुरुवाच। सम्यक्सम्पादितो वत्स भवद्भ्यां गुरुनिष्क्रयः। को नु युष्मद्विधगुरोः कामानामवशिष्यते
The revered teacher said: 'My dear ones, you have fully repaid your teacher’s fee; what desire could remain for a teacher such as yours?'
गच्छतं स्वगृहं वीरौ कीर्तिर्वामस्तु पावनी। छन्दांस्ययातयामानि भवन्त्विह परत्र च
'Return home, O heroes, may your fame be pure; may the Vedas you have learned remain with you here and hereafter.'
गुरुणैवमनुज्ञातौ रथेनानिलरंहसा। आयातौ स्वपुरं तात पर्जन्यनिनदेन वै
Thus permitted by their teacher, they returned to their city in their chariot, swift as the wind, with a sound like thunderclouds.
समनन्दन्प्रजाः सर्वा दृष्ट्वा रामजनार्दनौ। अपश्यन्त्यो बह्वहानि नष्टलब्धधना इव
All the people rejoiced to see Rama and Janardana, as those who have recovered lost wealth after many days of deprivation.

स्वविरहार्तगोपगोपीनां सान्त्वनाय भगवतोद्धवस्य प्रस्थापनम्, नन्दोद्धवसंवादश्च - श्रीशुक उवाच। वृष्णीनां प्रवरो मन्त्री कृष्णस्य दयितः सखा। शिष्यो बृहस्पतेः साक्षादुद्धवो बुद्धिसत्तमः
Śrī Śuka said: Among the Vṛṣṇis, Uddhava was foremost, a wise counselor, beloved friend of Kṛṣṇa, and direct disciple of Bṛhaspati, excelling in intelligence.
तमाह भगवान्प्रेष्ठं भक्तमेकान्तिनं क्वचित्। गृहीत्वा पाणिना पाणिं प्रपन्नार्तिहरो हरिः
To him, the Lord, remover of distress for those who seek refuge, once spoke—taking Uddhava's hand in his own, for he was most dear and devoted.
गच्छोद्धव व्रजं सौम्य पित्रोर्नौ प्रीतिमावह। गोपीनां मद्वियोगाधिं मत्सन्देशैर्विमोचय
Go, O gentle Uddhava, to Vraja; bring joy to my parents, and with my messages, relieve the agony of the gopīs caused by separation from me.
ता मन्मनस्का मत्प्राणा मदर्थे त्यक्तदैहिकाः। मामेव दयितं प्रेष्ठमात्मानं मनसा गताः । ये त्यक्तलोकधर्माश्च मदर्थे तान्बिभर्म्यहम्
Those women, their minds fixed on me, their very life devoted to me, have given up bodily comforts for my sake; they have come to me, their beloved, their very self, in their hearts. Those who have abandoned worldly duties for me—I uphold them.
मयि ताः प्रेयसां प्रेष्ठे दूरस्थे गोकुलस्त्रियः। स्मरन्त्योऽङ्ग विमुह्यन्ति विरहौत्कण्ठ्यविह्वलाः
For me, their dearest beloved, though far away, the women of Gokula, O dear one, are bewildered, constantly remembering me, overwhelmed by the pain and longing of separation.
धारयन्त्यतिकृच्छ्रेण प्रायः प्राणान्कथञ्चन। प्रत्यागमनसन्देशैर्बल्लव्यो मे मदात्मिकाः
My cowherd maidens, whose hearts are united with me, somehow sustain their lives with great difficulty, holding on by the hope of my return and the messages I send.
श्रीशुक उवाच। इत्युक्त उद्धवो राजन्सन्देशं भर्तुरादृतः। आदाय रथमारुह्य प्रययौ नन्दगोकुलम्
Śrī Śuka said: Thus addressed, Uddhava, honoring his master's command, mounted his chariot and departed for Nanda's cowherd village.
प्राप्तो नन्दव्रजं श्रीमान्निम्लोचति विभावसौ। छन्नयानः प्रविशतां पशूनां खुररेणुभिः
Arriving at Nanda's Vraja as the sun was setting, the illustrious Uddhava entered, his chariot concealed by the dust raised from the hooves of the returning cattle.
