Arjuna’s Northern Conquests and Tribute Collection
ततो गते भगवति कृष्णे देवकिनन्दने । जयं लब्ध्वा सुविपुल राज्ञां दत्त्वाभयं तदा,भारत! महान् विजयको प्राप्त करके और जरासंधके द्वारा कैद किये हुए उन राजाओंको अभयदान देकर देवकीनन्दन भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके चले जानेपर उक्त कर्मके द्वारा पाण्डवोंके यशका बहुत विस्तार हुआ और वे पाण्डव द्रौपदीकी भी प्रीतिको बढ़ाने लगे
tato gate bhagavati kṛṣṇe devakīnandane | jayaṃ labdhvā suvipulaṃ rājñāṃ dattvābhayaṃ tadā, bhārata |
Vaiśampāyana berkata: Setelah Tuhan Yang Mulia Kṛṣṇa, kegembiraan Devakī, berangkat pergi, para Pāṇḍava—sesudah meraih kemenangan besar dan menganugerahkan abhaya (jaminan keselamatan, bebas dari ketakutan) kepada ramai raja yang pernah ditawan oleh Jarāsandha—telah meluaskan kemasyhuran mereka dengan amat besar melalui perbuatan itu, dan turut menambah kasih serta sukacita Draupadī.

Educational Q&A
True victory is completed by dharmic conduct: after triumph, the righteous grant protection and freedom to the defeated or oppressed. ‘Abhaya-dāna’ (granting safety) turns power into moral authority and expands lasting fame.
After Kṛṣṇa departs, the Pāṇḍavas are described as having achieved a major success connected with Jarāsandha’s oppression: they secure victory and then give assurance of safety to the many kings who had been imprisoned. This deed spreads the Pāṇḍavas’ renown and brings greater satisfaction to Draupadī.
