Inauspicious Omens and Arjuna’s Return from Dvārakā
शूरो मातामह: कच्चित्स्वस्त्यास्ते वाथ मारिष: । मातुल: सानुज: कच्चित्कुशल्यानकदुन्दुभि: ॥ २६ ॥
śūro mātāmahaḥ kaccit svasty āste vātha māriṣaḥ mātulaḥ sānujaḥ kaccit kuśaly ānakadundubhiḥ
贤弟,我们可敬的外祖父舒罗塞那可安好?舅父婆苏提婆(阿那迦敦杜毗)与他的诸位弟弟也都平安无恙吗?
Ānakadundubhi is Vasudeva, Lord Krishna’s father, referred to by this epithet in the Bhagavatam.
In the anxious atmosphere after Krishna’s disappearance, Arjuna inquires about the welfare of Krishna’s close relatives and elders in the Yadu/Vṛṣṇi family line.
It highlights dharma through concern for elders and family well-being—checking on relatives, especially seniors, as a sincere duty and expression of care.
