Svargārohaṇa-parva Adhyāya 5 — Karmaphala-Nirdeśa and Phalāśruti (कर्मफलनिर्देशः फलश्रुतिश्च)
सोअभिमन्युर्नुसिंहस्य फाल्गुनस्य सुतो5भवत् | स युदृध्वा क्षत्रधर्मेण यथा नानन््य: पुमान् क्वचित्
so 'bhimanyur nṛsiṁhasya phālgunasya suto 'bhavat | sa yuddhvā kṣatradharmeṇa yathā nānyaḥ pumān kvacit ||
Varcā itu sendiri terlahir sebagai Abhimanyu, putra Phālguna (Arjuna), sang singa di antara manusia. Bertempur menurut dharma ksatria, ia menunjukkan keberanian yang tiada bandingnya oleh siapa pun, di mana pun.
