‘Disturbed by that sound, the Bhojas, Vrishnis, and Andhakas, casting aside food and drink, gathered in the hall; then the tigers among men, the great chariot-warriors of the Vrishnis and Andhakas, took their seats on golden thrones with sumptuous coverings, variegated with gems and coral, radiant like blazing fire — lion-thrones by the hundreds, like fires upon altars.’

Here the fearsome host of heroes is likened to blazing sacrificial fires. It is significant that the seated Yadavas are compared to ‘fires upon altars’: their ardor is fierce, like flame. This reveals both the greatness and the hot temper of the clan. Thus the scripture depicts an assembly of angry heroes; and their ardor, when not guided by wisdom, is dangerous.
