समन्तपञ्चक-आख्यानम् तथा अक्षौहिणी-प्रमाणनिर्णयः
Samantapañcaka Narrative and the Measure of an Akṣauhiṇī
तथा सौभवधाख्यानमत्रैवोक्तं महर्षिणा । सुभद्राया: सपुत्राया: कृष्णेन द्वारकां पुरीम्,इसी पर्वमें महर्षि व्यासने सौभवधकी कथा कही है। श्रीकृष्ण सुभद्राको पुत्रसहित द्वारकामें ले गये। धृष्टद्युम्न द्रौपदीके पुत्रोंकी अपने साथ लिवा ले गये। तदनन्तर पाण्डवोंने परम रमणीय द्वैतवनमें प्रवेश किया
tathā saubhavadha-ākhyānam atraiva uktaṃ maharṣiṇā | subhadrāyāḥ sa-putrāyāḥ kṛṣṇena dvārakāṃ purīm ||
ইয়াতেই মহর্ষিয়ে সৌভ-বধৰ আখ্যানো বৰ্ণনা কৰিলে। আৰু শ্ৰীকৃষ্ণে সুভদ্ৰাক পুত্ৰসহ দ্বাৰকা-নগৰীলৈ লৈ গ’ল।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the Mahābhārata’s method of dharmic instruction through remembered history: major events are preserved as authoritative narration by a seer, and family responsibilities (protection, safe relocation) are treated as practical expressions of dharma.
The text notes that the Saubha-slaying episode has already been recounted, and then states that Kṛṣṇa escorts Subhadrā along with her son to Dvārakā, indicating movement of key figures and a shift in the storyline toward subsequent developments.
