Babhror devāvṛdhāt means “by the strength of the association of Babhru and Devāvrḍha.”

putrā dvādaśa viśrutāḥ
From Vṛṣṇi came the sons named Śvaphalka and Citraratha. From Śvaphalka by his wife Gāndinī came Akrūra. Akrūra was the eldest, but there were twelve other sons, all of whom were well known.
Akrūra was the chief over the twelve other sons such as Āsaṅga. This is an atad-guṇa-samvijñāna-bahu-vrīhi compound (since he is the chief but excluded from the twelve sons).
