Adhyāya 22: Śālva’s Weapon-Shower, Dāruka’s Wounding, and the Māyā-Report of Vasudeva’s Father
सुभद्रामभिमन्युं च रथमारोप्य काउ्चनम् | आरुरोह रथं कृष्ण: पाण्डवैरभिपूजित:,पाण्डवोंसे सम्मानित श्रीकृष्ण सुभद्रा और अभिमन्युको अपने सुवर्णमय रथपर बैठाकर स्वयं भी उसपर आरूढ़ हुए
subhadrām abhimanyuṁ ca ratham āropya kāñcanam | ārurōha rathaṁ kṛṣṇaḥ pāṇḍavair abhipūjitaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Having seated Subhadrā and Abhimanyu upon a golden chariot, Kṛṣṇa himself mounted it, honored and respectfully received by the Pāṇḍavas. The scene underscores rightful hospitality and reverence shown to kin and allies, reflecting dharmic conduct in times of movement and uncertainty.
