Vaishampayana said Having entered the Sabha, the sons of Pritha with Yudhishthira at their head met all the kings that were present there. Worshipping all those that deserved to be worshipped and saluting others as each deserved according to his age, they took their seats on pure seats covered with costly carpets.
वैशम्पायन उवाच प्रविश्य तां सभां पार्था युधिष्ठिरपुरोगमाः। समेत्य पार्थिवान् सर्वान् पूजार्हानभिपूज्य च॥ यथावयः समेयाना उपविष्टा यथार्हतः। आसनेषु विचित्रेषु स्पर्ध्यास्तरणवत्सु च॥
