Vaiśampāyana said: The divine seers and the Brahma-seers, gathered together, circumambulated Kṛṣṇa—bringer of joy to the Yadu line—keeping him to their right in reverence. Thus they honored Vāsava’s younger brother, acknowledging his sanctity and the dharmic authority that surrounds him.

The verse highlights dharmic honor: even the highest seers express reverence through pradakṣiṇā, implying that true spiritual authority is recognized by humility, ritual respect, and acknowledgment of virtue and divine stature.
