Phalguni, on his way back, addressed Uttara, saying "O Prince, O mighty-armed hero, the kine have been escorted in advance by the cow-herds. Having refreshed the horses with drink and bath, we shall enter the city in the afternoon. Let the cow-herd, sent by you, go in advance to the city with the good news and announce your victory."
पन्थानमुपसङ्गम्य फाल्गुनो वाक्यमब्रवीत्॥ राजपुत्र प्रत्यवेक्ष समानीतानि सर्वशः। गोकुलानि महाबाहो वीर गोपालकैः सह॥ ततोऽपराठे यास्यामो विराटनगरं प्रति। आश्वास्य पाययित्वा च परिप्लाव्य च वाजिनः॥ गच्छन्तु त्वरिताश्चेमे गोपालाः प्रेषितास्त्वया। नगरे प्रियमाख्यातुं घोषयन्तु च ते जयम्॥
