សញ្ជ័យបាននិយាយថា៖ ដើម្បីទទួលនាងជាភរិយា បារថៈ (អរជុន) បានទទួលយកនាង នាគកញ្ញា ដែលស្ថិតក្រោមអំណាចនៃកាមតណ្ហា។ ដូច្នេះហើយ កូនប្រុសរបស់អរជុននេះបានកើតឡើង ហើយឥឡូវឈរនៅភាគីប្រឆាំង—ព្រោះគាត់ត្រូវបានចិញ្ចឹមក្នុងវង្សមាតា។

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how personal desire and marital choices can shape lineage and later political or wartime allegiance; birth and upbringing (especially maternal affiliation) can influence where one stands in a conflict, raising ethical reflection on responsibility, attachment, and consequences.
Sañjaya explains the origin of a warrior who is presently in the enemy camp: Arjuna accepted a Nāga maiden as a wife, and from that union a son was born; the son’s later alignment is connected to his maternal side and upbringing.
