Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
मया तु भरतश्रेष्ठ चिरदृष्ट: पिता प्रभु: । तमहं द्रष्टमेच्छामि सम्मते तव फाल्गुन
mayā tu bharataśreṣṭha ciradṛṣṭaḥ pitā prabhuḥ | tam ahaṃ draṣṭum icchāmi sammate tava phālguna ||
হে ভৰতশ্ৰেষ্ঠ ফাল্গুন (অৰ্জুন)! মোৰ প্ৰভু পিতাক দেখা বহুদিন হ’ল; মই তেওঁৰ দৰ্শন কৰিব বিচাৰোঁ। যদি তোমাৰ সম্মতি থাকে, তেন্তে মই দ্বাৰকাত গৈ তেওঁৰ দৰ্শন কৰিম।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights reverence toward one’s father/elder and the ethical propriety of seeking a trusted person’s consent before undertaking an important journey—desire is guided by respect, consultation, and right intention.
Vāyudeva addresses Arjuna respectfully, saying he has not seen his father for a long time and wishes to meet him; he asks whether Arjuna agrees to his going to Dvārakā for that purpose.
