Shloka 56
तमन्वयाद् वानरवर्यकेतन: ससात्यकिर्माद्रवतीसुतावपि । अगाथबुद्धिर्विदुरश्च माधवं स्वयं च भीमो गजराजविक्रम:,उस समय उन माधवके पीछे कपिध्वज अर्जुन, सात्यकि, नकुल-सहदेव, अगाधबुद्धि विदुर और गजराजके समान पराक्रमी स्वयं भीमसेन भी कुछ दूरतक पहुँचानेके लिये गये
tam anvayād vānaravaryaketanāḥ sa sātyakir mādravatīsutāv api | agāthabuddhir viduraś ca mādhavaṁ svayaṁ ca bhīmo gajarājavikramaḥ ||
Então, quando Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa) partia, Arjuna—cujo estandarte traz o mais excelso dos macacos—seguiu-o, juntamente com Sātyaki, os gêmeos filhos de Mādrī (Nakula e Sahadeva), Vidura de conselho insondável e o próprio Bhīma, valente como o senhor dos elefantes; foram com ele por certa distância para escoltá-lo.

The verse highlights dharmic conduct through respectful accompaniment of an honored person. Escorting Mādhava signifies gratitude, humility, and recognition of moral and spiritual authority—virtues expected of righteous rulers and companions.
As Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava) departs, the leading figures of the Pāṇḍava side—Arjuna, Sātyaki, Nakula, Sahadeva, Vidura, and Bhīma—follow him for some distance to see him off, demonstrating esteem and affectionate regard.
