KB 10.72.45
As soon as the news of Jarāsandha’s death was announced, all the citizens of Magadha began to cry, “Alas! Alas!” while Lord Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna embraced Bhīmasena to congratulate him.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
They worshiped him by saying “Very good!” and fanned him. Arjuna is called Jaya (victory) to indicate his suitability to assist in this endeavor. His name is mentioned first in order to glorify him. Kṛṣṇa was fixed (acyutau) on considering him worthy of respect like himself.
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
Immediately he died (nihate). The citizens lamented because he was the lord of that province (magadheśvare). Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa respected Bhīma, by words such as “very good” and by fanning him. Arjuna also had the power of defeat Jarāsandha (jayācyutau). Or out of affection, with the victory of the elder brother, the younger brother is considered to be victorious also. Kṛṣṇa could not stop embracing him (acyuta). Out of great affection, he encouraged Arjuna to embrace him first. Thus he is mentioned after Arjuna. Or he had a long desire for lack of restrictions.
