Traducción
Vaishampayana said: "Urged on by Maya, Vasudeva, O bull of the Bharatas, seemed to ponder for a moment: 'To what shall I urge him?' -- and Krishna urged him: 'Let a sabha be raised for the Dharmaraja, O Daiteya, such as you deem fitting here.'"

Here the Lord, all-knowing, nonetheless pauses for a moment -- for the sake of his manifest play [lila]. It is significant that Krishna, for whom nothing is unknown, 'seems to ponder': he descends to the human manner of acting so that the matter unfolds in human fashion. And the first thing he chooses for Yudhishthira is not treasure but an assembly hall, where the dharma of the kingdom will be established. Thus scripture shows Krishna's providence for the righteous king; and he specifies what the sabha should be.
