Vaishampayana said: Then Arjuna, son of Kunti, himself bowed down with grief, approached him where he lay — the great-souled hero Anakadundubhi, long-armed, consumed by anguish and overwhelmed with sorrow.

Old Vasudeva, Krishna's father, is struck down by grief having lost his entire clan. He is named 'Anakadundubhi' — 'born to the sound of celestial drums' — for when he came into the world the drums of heaven resounded. The name marks the point: it is no ordinary father who lies here prostrate, but a man distinguished by an exalted birth, and his fall is all the more striking for it.
