Subhadrā’s Petition to Kṛṣṇa for the Revival of Parīkṣit (अभिमन्युज-प्राणरक्षा-प्रार्थना)
ततः सो3तित्वर: कृष्णो विवेशान्त:पुरं तदा । युयुधानद्वितीयो वै व्यथितेन्द्रियमानस:
tataḥ so ’tituvaraḥ kṛṣṇo viveśāntaḥpuraṃ tadā | yuyudhānadvitīyo vai vyathitendriyāmānasaḥ ||
Pagkaraan, si Kṛṣṇa, na sinakmal ng matinding pagmamadali, ay pumasok sa panloob na palasyo. Kasama lamang niya si Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki); nabagabag ang kanyang isip at mga pandama—nababalisa sa maaaring naganap sa mga silid na lihim, kung saan ang tungkulin ay humihingi ng agarang pag-iingat at pagprotekta.

Educational Q&A
Even the wisest protector responds swiftly when dharma may be threatened in vulnerable spaces; urgency here reflects responsibility—acting promptly to prevent harm, not impulsiveness for its own sake.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, feeling inner distress, hurried into the inner palace, taking only Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki) with him, suggesting a serious concern requiring immediate attention within the private quarters.
