Shloka 11
Subhadrā’s Petition to Kṛṣṇa for the Revival of Parīkṣit (अभिमन्युज-प्राणरक्षा-प्रार्थना)
ततः सो3तित्वर: कृष्णो विवेशान्त:पुरं तदा । युयुधानद्वितीयो वै व्यथितेन्द्रियमानस:
tataḥ so ’tituvaraḥ kṛṣṇo viveśāntaḥpuraṃ tadā | yuyudhānadvitīyo vai vyathitendriyāmānasaḥ ||
Entonces Kṛṣṇa, arrebatado por una prisa apremiante, entró en el palacio interior. Con Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki) como único compañero, su mente y sus sentidos estaban turbados—ansioso por lo que pudiera haber ocurrido en los aposentos privados, donde el deber exige una acción rápida y protectora.

Educational Q&A
Even the wisest protector responds swiftly when dharma may be threatened in vulnerable spaces; urgency here reflects responsibility—acting promptly to prevent harm, not impulsiveness for its own sake.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, feeling inner distress, hurried into the inner palace, taking only Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki) with him, suggesting a serious concern requiring immediate attention within the private quarters.
