Kṛṣṇa’s Departure, Auspicious Omens, and the Opening of the Uttaṅka Dialogue (कृष्णप्रयाण-निमित्त-उत्तङ्कसंवाद-प्रारम्भः)
स्मरेथाश्षापि मां नित्यं भीमं च बलिनां वरम् | फाल्गुनं सहदेवं च नकुलं चैव मानद
smarethāś cāpi māṁ nityaṁ bhīmaṁ ca balināṁ varam | phālgunaṁ sahadevaṁ ca nakulaṁ caiva mānada ||
युधिष्ठिर उवाच— भक्तानां मानद कृष्ण, द्वारकां प्राप्तवान् नित्यं मां स्मरेथाः, भीमं च बलिनां वरम्। फाल्गुनं सहदेवं च नकुलं चैव मानद।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights loyal remembrance and mutual regard between righteous allies: even after great events, one should sustain bonds through gratitude, respect, and mindful recollection—especially toward those who uphold dharma together.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Kṛṣṇa as he is about to return to Dvārakā, requesting that Kṛṣṇa keep the Pāṇḍavas in his constant remembrance—naming himself and his brothers (Bhīma, Arjuna, Sahadeva, Nakula).
