And, with the king's leave, he brought in those people: Virata and Bhimasena, Dhrishtadyumna and Satyaki, Shikhandin and both the twins, Chekitana and the Kekayas, Yuyutsu, scion of Kuru, and Uttamaujas of Panchala. These and many other kshatriyas came before the bull among kshatriyas, the great-souled one, and took their seats. On one seat sat two heroes together, mighty, great-souled, greatly resplendent -- Krishna and Yuyudhana (Satyaki).

The gathering of the leaders before the decisive day shows the unity of the camp: Virata, Bhima, Dhrishtadyumna, Satyaki, and many more -- all "upatasthuḥ", coming before the King of Dharma. It is significant that Krishna shares one seat with Satyaki, His kinsman of the Vrishni line: the Lord among people is simple and near. The verse teaches that a righteous cause gathers the faithful together, and that the Lord's greatness does not set Him apart from His companions: He sits among them as a friend, and His very presence in the assembly is a pledge both of unity and of the victory to come.
