समन्तपञ्चक-आख्यानम् तथा अक्षौहिणी-प्रमाणनिर्णयः
Samantapañcaka Narrative and the Measure of an Akṣauhiṇī
गृहीत्वा हरणं प्राप्ते कृष्णे देवकिनन्दने । अभिमन्यो: सुभद्रायां जन्म चोत्तमतेजस:,तदनन्तर देवकीनन्दन भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके दहेज लेकर पाण्डवोंके पास पहुँचनेकी और सुभद्राके गर्भसे परम तेजस्वी वीर बालक अभिमन्युके जन्मकी कथा है
gṛhītvā haraṇaṃ prāpte kṛṣṇe devakīnandane | abhimanyoḥ subhadrāyāṃ janma cottamatejasaḥ |
Matapos tanggapin ang yaman ng kasal (dote) at dumating sa piling ng mga Pāṇḍava, si Kṛṣṇa—ang mapalad na anak ni Devakī—ay naging hudyat ng susunod na pangyayari: mula sa sinapupunan ni Subhadrā isinilang ang lubhang maningning na bayaning si Abhimanyu. Itinatampok ng salaysay ang pagpapatuloy ng tungkulin ng angkan at pagbuo ng mga alyansa, kung saan ang wastong pag-aasawa at ugnayang-kamag-anakan ang nagiging lupang pinagmumulan ng mga tagapagtanggol ng dharma sa hinaharap.

The passage underscores how dharmic social bonds—especially marriage alliances and family responsibilities—sustain the continuity of a righteous lineage; from such ordered relationships arise future defenders of dharma, here symbolized by Abhimanyu’s birth.
Kṛṣṇa, called Devakī’s son, arrives among the Pāṇḍavas after taking the bridal wealth, and subsequently Subhadrā gives birth to the exceptionally radiant warrior Abhimanyu.
