He came together with Akrura and others -- with Gada, Samba, Ulmuka, the son of Rukmini, the sons of Ahuka, and those led by Charudeshna. The mighty-armed one was surrounded by the chiefs of the Vrishnis who had come to him, mighty as tigers, and was guarded as Vasava is by the Maruts. He was clad in blue silk, resembling the peak of Kailasa, glorious, walking with the gait of a playful lion, the corners of his eyes reddened from intoxication. Seeing him, the king of dharma, the resplendent Keshava, Partha, the fearsome-in-deeds Vrikodara, the wielder of Gandiva, and all the other kings who were there rose up, approached, and paid homage to Halayudha.

The chapter contrasts two forms of faithfulness: the Pandavas organize their army under Krishna's guidance, while Balarama, equally bound to both Bhima and Duryodhana, chooses not to take part in the fratricidal war. His departure does not diminish the rightness of the Pandavas' cause, but it underscores the gravity of the moment: even one who accepts Keshava's will is not always able to watch the destruction of his own kin.
