एवमादि प्रियं प्रीत्या हृद्यम् उक्त्वा मनोनुगम् ॥
गमनाय मनश् चक्रे वासुदेवरथं प्रति ॥
तां कृष्णां कृष्णमहिषी चकाराभिप्रदक्षिणम् ॥
आरुरोह रथं शौरेः सत्यभामा च भामिनी ॥
स्मयित्वा तु यदुश्रेष्ठो द्रौपदीं परिसान्त्व्य च ॥
उपावर्त्य ततः शीघ्रैर् हयैः प्रायात् परंतपः ॥

Translation

Having lovingly spoken such pleasant, heartfelt, and welcome words, Satyabhama turned her mind toward departure and the chariot of Vasudeva. Krishna's wife circled Krishna-Draupadi to her right and mounted the chariot of Shauri. The best of the Yadus smiled, comforted Draupadi, and then quickly rode off with his horses, O vanquisher of foes."
