And after the sages, O Bharata, had taken their seats and received the Arghya offered to them, Krishna took his seat, along with all the kings. Duhshasana offered an excellent seat to Satyaki, and Vivinsati gave another, of gold, to Kritavarman. Not far from where Krishna sat, upon a single seat sat that renowned and wrathful pair, Karna and Duryodhana. And Shakuni, king of Gandhara, sat there, O king, surrounded by the chieftains of his land, with his son beside him. The high-souled Vidura sat upon a jewel-adorned seat covered with a white deer-hide, which nearly touched the seat of Krishna. And all the kings in the assembly, though they gazed long upon Janardana of the Dashārha line, were never satisfied with the sight of him, like those who drink Amrita and never grow sated, draught after draught. And Janardana, clad in yellow garments the color of the Atasi flower, sat in the midst of that assembly like a sapphire set in gold.
