An account of the pilgrimage (undertaken by Lord Sri Krsna)
Sri Suka began again : (Pariksit !) hearing of this deep attachment of the consorts of Sri Krsna, the Soul of the universe, to His person, Kunti, Gandhari, Draupadi, Subhadra, the consorts of the other kings and even the Gopis, whom He held so dear, were all greatly astonished and their eyes were bedimmed with tears of joy. When ladies were thus talking with ladies and men with men, a number of sages appeared on the spot for the sight of Bhagavan Sri Krsna and Sri Balarama. The more prominent of them were Krsnadwaipayana (Vyasa), Devarsi Narada, Cyavana, Devala, Asita, Vitwamitra, Sananaada, Bharadwaja, Gautama, the glorious Parasurama with his disciples, Vasistha, Galava, Bhrgu, Pulastya, Kasyapa, Atri, Markandeya, Brhaspati, Dwita, Trita, Ekata, Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana and Sanatkumara, Angira, Agastya, Yajnavalkya, Vamadeva, and (a few) others. Seeing these Rsis, revered and worshipped by the world, all the kings who had been sitting there from before including (Yudhisthira and) the (other) Pandavas, Sri Krsna and Balarama at once stood up and bowed to them. (There) Sri Krsna, Balarama and all (those who were present there) welcomed them with sweet words and duly honoured them by offering seats, water to wash their hands and feet with, garlands, incense, sandal-paste etc. When the sages were comfortably seated, the Lord, who had appeared on earth for the protection of virtue, spoke (as follows) with the great assembly silently listening to Him. |
