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 ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。パーンダヴァらに敬い迎えられたクリシュナは、スバドラとアビマンニュを黄金の戦車に乗せ、自らもその車に乗り込んだ。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic etiquette: honoring worthy guests and elders/kinsmen through respectful reception and proper conveyance. Such conduct strengthens social order and alliances, especially during travel and transitional moments.
Kṛṣṇa places Subhadrā and her son Abhimanyu onto a golden chariot and then mounts it himself, while the Pāṇḍavas honor him—depicting a formal, respectful departure or movement within the episode.
