Mahabharata — Ashvamedhika Parva, Shloka 50
Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
मया तु भरतश्रेष्ठ चिरदृष्ट: पिता प्रभु: । तमहं द्रष्टमेच्छामि सम्मते तव फाल्गुन
mayā tu bharataśreṣṭha ciradṛṣṭaḥ pitā prabhuḥ | tam ahaṃ draṣṭum icchāmi sammate tava phālguna ||
伐由说道：“噢，婆罗多族中最卓越者！我久未得见我那可敬的父亲、我之主宰。我愿前去瞻仰他。若蒙你允可，噢，法尔古那（阿周那），我将往德瓦拉卡（Dvārakā）去，求得与父亲相见之达尔沙那（darśana）。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights reverence toward one’s father/elder and the ethical propriety of seeking a trusted person’s consent before undertaking an important journey—desire is guided by respect, consultation, and right intention.
Vāyudeva addresses Arjuna respectfully, saying he has not seen his father for a long time and wishes to meet him; he asks whether Arjuna agrees to his going to Dvārakā for that purpose.
