Subhadra, having worshipped that king of hills, Raivataka and the celestials and having been blessed by all the Brahmanas, and having walked round the hill, was returning towards Dwarka. The son of Kunti, struck by the arrows of the god of love, suddenly rushed towards that faultless featured Subhadra and forcibly took her upon his chariot.
सुभद्रा त्वथ शैलेन्द्रमभ्ययैव रैवतम्। दैवतानि च सर्वाणि ब्राह्मणान् स्वस्ति वाच्य च॥ प्रदक्षिणं गिरेः कृत्वा प्रययौ द्वारका प्रति। तामभिदुत्य कौन्तेयः प्रसह्यारोपयद् स्थम्। सुभद्रां चारुसर्वाङ्गी कामबाणप्रपीडितः॥
