Arjuna went to Dwarika and there he married by force the sweet-speeched Subhadra, the sister of Vasudeva (Krishna). He begot on her a son, named Abhimanyu, who was endued with all accomplishments and who was dear to Vasudeva himself.
अर्जुनः खलु द्वारवतीं गत्वा भगिनीं वासुदेवस्य सुभद्रां भद्रभाषिणी भार्यामुदावहत्। स्वविषयं चाभ्याजगाम कुशली। तस्यां पुत्रमभिमन्युमतीव गुणसम्पन्नं दयितं वासुदेवस्याजनयत्॥
