Arjuna’s Northern Conquests and Tribute Collection
सुभद्रां भीमसेनं च फाल्गुनं यमजौ तथा । धौम्यमामन्त्रयित्वा च प्रययौ स्वां पुरी प्रति
subhadrāṃ bhīmasenaṃ ca phālgunaṃ yamajau tathā | dhaumyāmāmantrayitvā ca prayayau svāṃ purīṃ prati, bhārata |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。バーラタよ、彼はスバドラ、ビー マセーナ、ファールグナ（アルジュナ）、そして双子の兄弟（ナクラとサハデーヴァ）に別れを告げ、さらにダウミヤに敬意をもって相談したのち、自らの都へと旅立った。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct in transitions: one should not act unilaterally or abruptly but depart only after taking leave and consulting those who deserve respect—family members, allies, and spiritual authorities—thereby preserving social harmony and moral order.
After completing his purpose in the Pāṇḍavas’ setting, the departing figure (contextually Krishna) formally takes leave of Subhadrā, the Pāṇḍava heroes (Bhīma, Arjuna, and the twins), and the priest Dhāumya, and then proceeds toward his own capital.
