Nārada disse: “Os Yādavas, os Kukuras, os Bhojas e todos os Andhakas e Vṛṣṇis — ó tu de braços poderosos —, na verdade todos esses povos, e até mesmo os soberanos do mundo que a ti se prendem com devoção (são atraídos por ti e se alinham ao teu lado).”

The verse highlights how moral and political cohesion often forms around a central, admired figure: devotion and attachment (āsakti) can unify clans and even rulers, shaping collective action and responsibility within dharma.
Nārada addresses a ‘mighty-armed’ hero and notes that the Yādava-related clans—Yādavas, Kukuras, Bhojas, Andhakas, and Vṛṣṇis—along with other peoples and even world-rulers, are attached and aligned with him, emphasizing his influence and following.
