Shloka 29
Kṛṣṇasya Khāṇḍavaprasthāt Dvārakā-prayāṇaḥ | Krishna’s Departure for Dvārakā
निवृत्योपययुस्तर्ण स्वं पुरं पुरुषर्षभा: । स्यन्दनेनाथ कृष्णो5पि त्वरितं द्वारकामगात्,अब वे पुरुषश्रेष्ठ पाण्डव मार्गसे लौटकर तुरंत अपने नगरकी ओर चल पड़े। उधर श्रीकृष्ण भी रथके द्वारा शीघ्र ही द्वारका जा पहुँचे
nivṛtyopayayus tarṇa svaṃ puraṃ puruṣarṣabhāḥ | syandanenātha kṛṣṇo 'pi tvaritaṃ dvārakām agāt |
เหล่าปาณฑพผู้เป็นยอดแห่งบุรุษหันกลับจากเส้นทางแล้วรีบมุ่งสู่เมืองของตน ส่วนพระกฤษณะก็ทรงขึ้นรถศึกและไปถึงทวารกาโดยเร็ว

The verse underscores restraint and propriety: after completing their purpose, the heroes withdraw and return to their respective domains without needless conflict, reflecting dharmic self-control and timely, disciplined action.
The Pāṇḍavas turn back from their path and head quickly to their own city, while Kṛṣṇa, traveling by chariot, swiftly reaches Dvārakā—signaling the conclusion of a shared episode and the dispersal of allies to their homes.
