Inauspicious Omens and Arjuna’s Return from Dvārakā
शूरो मातामह: कच्चित्स्वस्त्यास्ते वाथ मारिष: । मातुल: सानुज: कच्चित्कुशल्यानकदुन्दुभि: ॥ २६ ॥
śūro mātāmahaḥ kaccit svasty āste vātha māriṣaḥ mātulaḥ sānujaḥ kaccit kuśaly ānakadundubhiḥ
弟よ、母方の祖父である尊きシュūrasenaは安泰か。さらに母方の叔父ヴァスデーヴァ(アーナカドゥンドゥビ)とその弟たちは皆、無事であろうか。
Ānakadundubhi is Vasudeva, Lord Krishna’s father, referred to by this epithet in the Bhagavatam.
In the anxious atmosphere after Krishna’s disappearance, Arjuna inquires about the welfare of Krishna’s close relatives and elders in the Yadu/Vṛṣṇi family line.
It highlights dharma through concern for elders and family well-being—checking on relatives, especially seniors, as a sincere duty and expression of care.
