Vaishampayana said: 'In such conversation between these two illustrious men, both endowed with great wisdom, that night, lit by bright stars, passed away. Indeed, the night passed against the wishes of the renowned Vidura, who listened to the varied discourse of Krishna, full of virtue, profit and desire, and composed of delightful words and syllables of pleasing meaning. Then, at daybreak, a company of singers and bards, gifted with melodious voices, woke Keshava with the sweet sounds of conches and cymbals, and, rising from his bed, Janardana of the Dashariha line, that bull among all the Sattvatas, performed all the customary morning rites and, having purified himself by bathing, recited the sacred mantras and poured libations of clarified butter into the sacrificial fire; Madhava then adorned his body and began to worship the rising sun.'
