Translation
Vaiśampāyana sprach: In Begleitung seines mütterlichen Onkels Vāsudeva trat Arjuna, der Diademtragende, vor den Vornehmsten der Kurus. Die beiden begegneten einander in gebührender Form, mit Zuneigung und gutem Willen — eine Zusammenkunft voller rechter Etikette und versöhnender Wärme nach den Spannungen des Krieges.
