वसुदेव–अर्जुन संवादः
Vasudeva–Arjuna Dialogue in the Aftermath of Dvārakā
तत: शेषं समादाय कलत्रस्य महामति: । हृतभूयिष्ठरत्नस्य कुरुक्षेत्रमवातरत्,फिर अपहरणसे बची हुई स्त्रियों और जिनका अधिक भाग लूट लिया गया था ऐसे बचे-खुचे रत्नोंको साथ लेकर परम बुद्धिमान् अर्जुन कुरुक्षेत्रमें उतरे
tataḥ śeṣaṃ samādāya kalatrasya mahāmatiḥ | hṛtabhūyiṣṭharatnasya kuru-kṣetram avātarat ||
Entonces Arjuna, el magnánimo, tomando consigo lo que quedaba de las mujeres y las pocas riquezas que restaron tras el saqueo de casi todo, descendió a Kurukṣetra—cargando el peso moral de amparar a los vulnerables en medio del derrumbe del orden tras el fin de los Yādavas.

Educational Q&A
Even after great victories, dharma is tested in protecting those left vulnerable amid social breakdown; the verse highlights the ethical burden of safeguarding women and remnants of wealth when law and order have collapsed.
After the Yādavas’ destruction and ensuing chaos, Arjuna gathers the surviving women and the few remaining valuables (most having been looted) and proceeds to Kurukṣetra.
