"And remind them again of this insult of theirs — that Krishna was brought into the assembly, and that Duhshasana spoke harsh words to Bhima before the eyes of the heroes of Kuru. Ask after the well-being of the Pandavas together with their sons and with Krishna-Draupadi, and tell them once more, O Janardana, that I am well. Go your way unharmed, and protect my sons." Vaishampayana said: Then Krishna bowed to her, circled her respectfully, and went out, the mighty-armed one, with the gait of a playful lion. He then took leave of Bhishma and the other bulls among the Kurus, seated Karna in his chariot, and set out together with Satyaki. Then, once the Dasharha had departed, the Kurus, gathered among themselves, spoke of the great and utterly astonishing wonder of Keshava.
