Abhimanyu’s Śrāddha; Vyāsa’s Assurance of the Unborn Heir (अभिमन्योः श्राद्धं तथा गर्भरक्षणोपदेशः)
अभिमन्यो कुशलिनो मातुलास्ते महारथा: । कुशल चाब्रुवन् सर्वे त्वां युयुत्सुमिहागतम्
abhimanyo kuśalino mātulās te mahārathāḥ | kuśalaṃ cābruvan sarve tvāṃ yuyutsum ihāgatam ||
វៃសម្បាយនៈបាននិយាយថា៖ «អភិមន្យូ! មាម៉ារបស់អ្នក—មហារថីទាំងនោះ—សុវត្ថិភាព និងសុខសាន្ត។ ពួកគេទាំងអស់បានមកទីនេះដោយបំណងចង់ចូលសង្គ្រាម ហើយបានសួរសុខទុក្ខអ្នក»។

Educational Q&A
Even amid martial intent, dharmic conduct preserves social order: warriors first exchange kuśala-praśna (inquiry after welfare), affirming kinship and responsibility before conflict.
Vaiśampāyana reports that Abhimanyu’s maternal uncles—renowned fighters—have arrived, eager for battle, and collectively ask Abhimanyu about his well-being while stating that they themselves are safe.
