मघवानिव पौलोम्या सहित: सत्यभामया । उपायाद् देवकीपूुत्रो दिदृक्षु: कुरुसत्तमान्,ब्राह्मण इस प्रकारकी बातें कह ही रहा था कि शैब्य और सुग्रीव नामक अअश्रोंसे जुते हुए रथद्वारा रथियोंमें श्रेष्ठ भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण आते हुए दिखायी दिये। जैसे शचीके साथ इन्द्र आये हों, उसी प्रकार सत्यभामाके साथ देवकीनन्दन श्रीहरि उन कुरुकुलशिरोमणि पाण्डवोंसे मिलने वहाँ आये

Vaiśampāyana said: Just as Indra (Maghavān) comes accompanied by Paulomī (Śacī), so did Devakī’s son, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, arrive with Satyabhāmā, eager to see the noblest of the Kurus. His coming signals timely support and affectionate regard for the Pāṇḍavas, reinforcing the ethic that righteous allies do not abandon the virtuous in their hardship.

The verse highlights the dharmic ideal of steadfast support: the righteous are strengthened when true allies—here symbolized by Kṛṣṇa—arrive in solidarity, showing that virtue is not meant to stand alone in adversity.
Vaiśampāyana narrates Kṛṣṇa’s arrival with Satyabhāmā to meet the foremost Kuru heroes (the Pāṇḍavas). The simile likens their arrival to Indra coming with Śacī, emphasizing majesty, auspiciousness, and timely companionship.
