Vaiśampāyana uvāca | tathā prayāntaṁ vārṣṇeyaṁ dvārakāṁ bharatarṣabhāḥ | pariṣvajya nyavartanta sānu-yātrāḥ parantapāḥ ||
Disse Vaiśampāyana: “Ó o melhor dos Bhāratas, quando Vārṣṇeya (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) partiu para Dvārakā, os heróis Pāṇḍava—abrasadores de inimigos—abraçaram-no com afeto do fundo do coração e então voltaram atrás, regressando com seus atendentes.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct in relationships: honoring benefactors and allies with affection and respect. Even after great conflict, ethical life is sustained through gratitude, proper leave-taking, and humility rather than triumphalism.
Kṛṣṇa (Vārṣṇeya) is departing for Dvārakā. The Pāṇḍavas warmly embrace him and then return, accompanied by their attendants, marking a transition from the war’s aftermath toward the next phase of governance and ritual duties.
