तत्र दानपतिर्धीमानाजगाम महायशा: । अक्ूरो वृष्णिवीराणां सेनापतिररिंदम:,उस समय वहाँ वृष्णिवीरोंके सेनापति शत्रुदमन महायशस्वी और परम बुद्धिमान् दानपति अक्रूरजी भी आये थे
tatra dānapatir dhīmān ājagāma mahāyaśāḥ | akrūro vṛṣṇivīrāṇāṃ senāpatir arindamaḥ ||
Entonces llegó también allí Akrūra: célebre y de gran inteligencia, afamado como señor de la generosidad, y comandante de los héroes Vṛṣṇi, domador de enemigos. La narración destaca la llegada de un líder virtuoso y capaz, cuyas dotes de sabiduría y liberalidad sostienen el orden justo y la disciplina entre los guerreros.

Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds ideal qualities in a public leader—wisdom (dhī), generosity (dāna), and the capacity to restrain hostility (arindama). Ethical strength is shown not only through martial role (senāpati) but through virtues that sustain social order and righteous conduct.
Vaiśampāyana reports that Akrūra arrives at the gathering/scene. He is described with honorific epithets: a famed, intelligent patron of gifts, and the commander of the Vṛṣṇi warriors, known for subduing enemies.
