Important Words
  • bhadrāyāḥ — of Bhadrā
    Genitive of Bhadrā (also called Śaibyā). Seventh of the aṣṭa-mahiṣīs, Kṛṣṇa's paternal cousin from the Kekaya kingdom. 'Bhadrā' is also a name of Śrī herself — auspiciousness personified.
  • saṅgrāmajit — Saṅgrāmajit
    saṅgrāma (battle) + jit (conqueror). Marks the son as battle-victor — fitting the kṣatriya line. The pattern echoes Kṛṣṇa's own epithet Vijaya.
  • arijit — Arijit
    ari (enemy) + jit (conqueror). A name that prefigures Aniruddha's future battle with Bāṇāsura. Within the Bhāgavata's lexicon, ari is often used for the inner enemies — kāma, krodha, lobha — making such names doubly resonant for the sādhaka.
  • satyakaḥ — Satyaka
    From satya, 'truth.' Bhāgavata family-names cluster around truth (Satya-bhāmā, Satyaka, Satyabhāma's father Satrājit) — the dharmic emphasis of the Yadu line.
Saṅgrāmajit, Bṛhatsena, Śūra, Praharaṇa, Arijit, Jaya and Subhadra were the sons of Bhadrā, together with Vāma, Āyur and Satyaka.

Commentary

Śrīdhara Svāmī mentions Śaibya as another name of Bhadrā. However Śaibya is another name of Mitravindā. This is probably a scribe’s error. This is understood from Viṣṇu Purāṇa and at the meeting at Kurukṣetra, where Mitrāvindā is addressed as Śaibya. (SB 10.83.7)

Personal Guidance
Bhadrā's sons — Saṅgrāmajit, Śūra, Arijit, Jaya, Subhadra and others — bear names of valor and victory. Devotional life produces warriors who can conquer the real enemies: lust, anger, and illusion.
Reflection Questions
  • Which inner enemy is most urgently asking to be conquered in my life today?
  • How does devotion to Kṛṣṇa equip me to fight the battles I keep avoiding?
Analogy

Like ten arrows in a single quiver — Saṅgrāmajit, Arijit, Jaya — Bhadrā's sons all carry battle-syllables, fit children for a queen whose name simply means 'auspicious.'
