ITRANS:

jala-yānam ivāghūrṇaṁgaṅgāyāṁ nagaraṁ patatākṛṣyamāṇam ālokyakauravāḥ jāta-sambhramāḥ

Translation:

Seeing that their city was tumbling about like a raft at sea as it was being dragged away, and that it was about to fall into the Ganges, the Kauravas became terrified. To save their lives they approached the Lord for shelter, taking their families with them. Placing Sāmba and Lakṣmaṇā in front, they joined their palms in supplication.

Purport:

The city of Hastināpura began to roll about like a raft in a stormy sea. The frightened Kauravas, to quickly appease the Lord, immediately brought Sāmba and Lakṣmaṇā and placed them in front.
