kauveryāṃ pūrvam āsīt kim api hima-marut kālimā meghaleśaḥ
śampā-nirghoṣa-vīpsā-spṛg iti paśu-kule goṣṭham evāśu nīte |
gopādyā durnimitta-prakara-kalanayā kṛṣṇam āvṛtya vṛttās
tan-nirdeśāt tam ādriṃ sapadi parigatās tasthur ūrdhvaṃ nirīkṣya ||[sragdharā]
[50] nirdeśā, yathā--
indro yadi mahā-vṛṣṭiṃ naṣṭa-sṛṣṭiṃ taniṣyati |
tad-aṅgīkāri-girirāṭ kṛpāṃ sāṅgīkariṣyati || [anuṣṭubh]

At first in the northern quarter there arose a chilling wind, a darkness, a trace of cloud,
touching repeated flashes of lightning and thunderclaps; and so, when the herd of cattle was quickly led into the cowherd settlement,
the cowherds and others, observing the multitude of evil omens, gathered around Kṛṣṇa,
and by his direction they instantly encircled that mountain and stood gazing upward. ||
[50] His instruction was as follows:
“If Indra unleashes a great downpour that destroys creation,
then the king of mountains, who accepted our offering, will show mercy completely.” ||
