Touching next various sorts of sacred articles and beholding himself in a clear mirror, Krishna addressed Satyaki, saying,—'Go, O descendant of Shini, and repairing to Yudhishthira's palace, ascertain whether if the king is dressed for visiting Bhishma.'
मङ्गलालम्भनं कृत्वा आत्मानमवलोक्य च। आदर्श विमले कृष्णस्ततः सात्यकिमब्रवीत्॥ गच्छ शैनेय जानीहि गत्वा राजनिवेशनम्। अपि सज्जो महातेजा भीष्मं द्रष्टुं युधिष्ठिरः॥
