Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna Saṃvāda in Indraprastha: Consolation, Legitimation, and Leave for Dvārakā (आश्वमेधिकपर्व, अध्याय १५)
तथैव स्वर्गकल्पेषु सभोद्देशेषु कौरव । रमणीयेषु पुण्येषु सहितस्य त्वयानघ
tathaiva svargakalpeṣu sabhoddeśeṣu kaurava | ramaṇīyeṣu puṇyeṣu sahitasya tvayānagha niṣpāpa kurunandana ||
风神伐由说道：“噢，俱卢之子啊，这些会堂之地，堪比天界，既可悦目又极其圣洁。我与你同住于此，噢，无瑕者，噢，俱卢族无罪之欢，已逾多日。其间我未能得见我父瓦苏提婆——舒罗塞那族的英勇王子；亦未得见我兄婆罗提婆，以及弗利什尼族中诸位杰出之士。故而我今愿往堕罗迦城。噢，人中至善者，你当欣然允准我此行之请。”

Educational Q&A
The verse models dharmic conduct in relationships: even while enjoying an honored stay in a splendid, ‘heaven-like’ place, one should not neglect obligations of kinship and reverence. The speaker frames his departure as a respectful request, reminding that ethical life includes timely return to one’s family and community, expressed with courtesy and gratitude.
Vāyudeva addresses a Kuru prince, praising the purity and delight of the assembly precincts where they have stayed together for many days. He explains that he has been unable to meet his father Vasudeva and his brother Baladeva, as well as other leading Vṛṣṇis, and therefore asks permission/approval to depart for Dvārakā.
