[15] tata unmukhatāṃ yāteṣu gopa-jāteṣu samam unnata-karṇa-saṅghāteṣu ca go-vrāteṣu tad avalokana-satṛṣṇau bala-kṛṣṇau ratha-sthaḥ sa dūrata eva sākṣāt paricitiṃ vināpi paricitavān |
yataḥ,
cakṣur eva paricāyakaṃ bhaved
rūpa-mātra iti gīḥ satāṃ matā |
tādṛśām anubhave tu karṇayor
dṛṣṭi-śaktir api kṛṣṭim ṛcchati ||

[15] Then, when the cowherds lifted their faces and the herds of cows simultaneously raised their ears, Bala and Kṛṣṇa, thirsty to behold him, were recognized from afar by the person on the chariot, even without direct prior acquaintance. / For: / "The eye alone is the recognizer / where form alone is concerned"—such is the opinion of the wise; / yet in the perception of such beings, even the power of sight / in one's ears undergoes an attraction. //
