स्निग्धां मुग्धां सततमपि तां लालयन् सत्यभामां
यातो भूयः सह खलु तया याज्ञसेनीविवाहम् ।

“Always caressing Satyabhāmā, dear and bright-faced, you went again with her to Yājñasenī's wedding for Pārtha's sake, and again to the Pāṇḍava court.”

भद्रां भद्रां भवदवरजां कौरवेणार्थ्यमानां
त्वद्वाचा तामहृत कुहनामस्करी शक्रसूनुः ।

“Satyabhāmā was your most fiercely loving queen. She was given the parijāta tree from heaven, by your bringing it to her. Indra was, again, a little embarrassed.”

“At Draupadī's svayaṁvara, you went with the Pāṇḍavas. Arjuna won her by hitting the fish-target; she was led home; the Yadus and Pāṇḍavas were now permanently joined.”

सत्यां गत्वा पुनरुदवहो नग्नजिन्नन्दनां तां
बध्वा सप्तापि च वृषवरान्सप्तमूर्तिर्निमेषात् ।

“By that joining, the larger play of the Mahābhārata had its first stitch in place. The cousins of Vraja and the cousins of Hastināpura were now of one circle.”

“By many such weddings, the Yadu clan was made the central family of the period. Every blessing of the lord was a node in the network.”

“The line of children continued. Each of your sons was honoured; each of your queens was kept as the dearest one.”
