That one large mind, understanding that the celestial car ornamented with all sorts of gems and precious stones and whose wheels rattled as loudly as masses of thick clouds, had arrived. Made tour round the fire and also round the Brahmanas. And putting on the Kaustubha gem which was shining with excellent beauty and surrounded by the Kurus and protected by the Vrishnis, Krishna or Shauri the center of delight of all the Yadavas mounted on his car.
तमुपस्थितमाज्ञाय रथं दिव्यं महामनाः। महाभ्रघननिर्घोषं सर्वरत्नविभूषितम्॥ अग्नि प्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा ब्राह्मणांश्च जनार्दनः। कौस्तुभं मणिमामुच्य श्रिया परमया ज्वलन्॥ कुरुभिः संवृतः कृष्णो वृष्णिभिश्चाभिरक्षितः। आतिष्ठत रथं शौरिः सर्वयादवनन्दनः॥
