भीष्मशिबिरगमनम् — Duryodhana’s Visit to Bhīṣma’s Camp and the Command Appeal
स नागलोके संवृद्धो मात्रा च परिरक्षित: । पितृव्येण परित्यक्तः: पार्थद्वेषाद् दुरात्मना
sa nāgaloke saṁvṛddho mātrā ca parirakṣitaḥ | pitṛvyeṇa parityaktaḥ pārthadveṣād durātmanā ||
三阇耶说道：他在那伽之界长大，母亲在彼处百般护持。可有一位邪恶的叔父，因憎恨帕尔塔（阿周那），竟将那孩子弃置不顾。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how personal hatred can corrupt familial responsibility: abandoning a dependent child out of enmity toward someone else is portrayed as the act of a durātmā (evil-minded person), contrasting protection (rakṣaṇa) with adharma-driven neglect.
Sañjaya explains that a certain child was raised safely in Nāgaloka under his mother’s care, but later a paternal uncle—motivated by hostility toward Arjuna—rejected and abandoned the child.
