And while the unconquered Krishna of the Dashariha line was still occupied with his morning prayers, Duryodhana and Shakuni, son of Subala, came to him and said: 'Dhritarashtra is seated in his court, together with all the Kurus headed by Bhishma and all the kings of the earth. All of them long for your presence, O Govinda, just as the celestials in heaven long for the presence of Shakra himself' — addressed in this way, Govinda greeted the two of them with sweet and courteous questions. And when the sun had risen a little higher, Janardana, that scourge of enemies, summoning several brahmins, gave them gold, garments, cows, and horses. And after he had thus given away great wealth and taken his seat, his charioteer (Daruka) came and saluted this unconquered hero of the Dashariha line. And Daruka soon returned with his master's great, blazing chariot, fitted with rows of jingling bells and yoked to superb horses.
