Kṛṣṇa’s Departure, Auspicious Omens, and the Opening of the Uttaṅka Dialogue (कृष्णप्रयाण-निमित्त-उत्तङ्कसंवाद-प्रारम्भः)
स्मरेथाश्षापि मां नित्यं भीमं च बलिनां वरम् | फाल्गुनं सहदेवं च नकुलं चैव मानद,भक्तोंको मान देनेवाले श्रीकृष्ण! द्वारकामें पहुँचकर आप मुझको, बलवानोंमें श्रेष्ठ भीमसेनको, अर्जुन, सहदेव और नकुलको भी सदा याद रखियेगा
smarethāś cāpi māṁ nityaṁ bhīmaṁ ca balināṁ varam | phālgunaṁ sahadevaṁ ca nakulaṁ caiva mānada ||
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “O Kṛṣṇa, bestower of honor upon your devotees—when you reach Dvārakā, please remember always me as well, and Bhīma, the foremost among the strong; and also Phālguna (Arjuna), Sahadeva, and Nakula.”
