The release of the king's kine by Arjuna's valour; the bestowal by Virata of his daughter to Arjuna for his acceptance of her for his son by Subhadra, Abhimanyu, the destroyer of foes. These are the contents of the extensive fourth Parva Virata.
प्रत्याहृतं गोधनं च विक्रमेण किरीटिना। विराटेनोत्तरा दत्ता स्नुषा यत्र किरीटिनः॥ अभिमन्युं समुद्दिश्य सौभद्रमरिघातिनम्। चतुर्थमेतद्विपुलं वैराटं पर्व वर्णितम्॥
