सम्प्रस्थिते द्वारकायांजिष्णौ बन्धुदिदृक्षया ।
ज्ञातुं च पुण्यश्लोकस्य कृष्णस्य च विचेष्टितम् ॥१॥
sūta uvāca
samprasthite dvārakāyāṁ
jiṣṇau bandhu-didṛkṣayā
jñātuṁ ca puṇya-ślokasya
kṛṣṇasya ca viceṣṭitam
Sūta said: When Arjuna went to Dvārakā to see his friends and understand the activities and intentions of famous Kṛṣṇa, he did not return for some months. Yudhiṣṭhira saw inauspicious omens at that time.
In the fourteenth chapter, Yudhisthira understands the meaning of the inauspicious signs when he sees Arjuna arrive in distress.
He went to understand Krsna’s activities and his intentions (ca). “Some months” means seven months. Nimittani means ill omens.
