And understanding that his beautiful chariot, adorned with every ornament and producing a rumble as deep as the roar of mighty banks of clouds, was ready, the high-souled Janardana, the delight of all the Yadavas, circling the sacred fire and the company of brahmins, and putting on the precious jewel known as the Kaustubha, shining with beauty, surrounded by the Kurus and well guarded by the Vrishnis, mounted it. And Vidura, versed in all the precepts of religion, followed on his own chariot behind this scion of the Dashariha line, this best of all living beings, this foremost of men endowed with wisdom. And Duryodhana and Shakuni, son of Subala, likewise followed Krishna, that scourge of enemies, on a single chariot. And Satyaki, and Kritavarman, and other mighty chariot-warriors of the Vrishni line rode after Krishna on chariots, horses, and elephants. And, O king, the beautiful chariots of these heroes, adorned with gold and yoked to superb horses, each producing a loud rumble as it moved forward, shone brilliantly.
