Rejoicing greatly, Krishna made gifts to the child of many valuable gems. The other chiefs of the Vrishni-race, did the same. Then the powerful Janardana, firmly following truth, bestowed a name on the infant who was your father, O monarch. Since this child of Abhimanyu has been born at a time when this family has become nearly extinct, let his name be Parikshit.' This is what he said. Then your father, O king, began to grow, and please all the people, O Bharata. When your father was month old, O hero, the Pandavas returned to heir capital, bringing with them abundant riches. Hearing that the Pandavas were near, those foremost ones of the Vrishni-race went out.
तस्य कृष्णो ददौ हृष्टो बहुरत्नं विशेषतः। तथान्ये वृष्णिशार्दूला नाम चास्याकरोत् प्रभुः॥ पितुस्तव महाराज सत्यसंधो जनार्दनः। परिक्षीणे कुले यस्माज्जातोऽयमभिमन्युजः॥ परिक्षिदिति नामास्य भवत्वित्यब्रवीत् तदा। सोऽवर्धते यथाकालं पिता तव जनाधिप॥ मनःप्रह्लादनश्चासीत् सर्वलोकस्य भारत। मासजातस्तु ते वीर पिता भवति भारत॥ अथाजग्मुः सुबहुलं रत्नमादाय पाण्डवाः। तान् समीपगताञ्श्रुत्वा निर्ययुर्वृष्णिपुङ्गवाः॥
