यश्न पाण्डवदायादो हत: षड्भिम्महारथै: । स सोम इह सौभद्रो योगादेवाभवद् द्विधा
yasmin pāṇḍava-dāyādo hataḥ ṣaḍbhir mahārathaiḥ | sa soma iha saubhadro yogād evābhavad dvidhā ||
毗耶娑说道：“那位被六位大车战士合力所杀的般度后嗣——苏跋陀罗之子阿毗曼纽——实为苏摩，月神，降临此世。凭借瑜伽之力，他显现为二身：一身仍居月界，一身则现于人间。”

The verse interprets a major wartime death through a dharmic-cosmic lens: beings of celestial status may incarnate for the restoration of order, and yogic power can allow a divine entity to manifest in more than one mode. It encourages seeing events not only as personal tragedy but also as part of a larger moral and cosmic framework.
Vyāsa identifies Abhimanyu—described as the Pāṇḍavas’ heir who was killed by six great warriors—as Soma (the Moon) incarnate on earth, stating that Soma appeared in a dual manner through yogic power.
