Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Reception Plan for Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa): Gifts, Procession, and Protocol
ता: सभा: केशव: सर्वा रत्नानि विविधानि च | असमीक्ष्यैव दाशा्ह उपायात् कुरुसझ तत्,परंतु यदुकुलतिलक श्रीकृष्ण उन विश्रामस्थानों तथा नाना प्रकारके रत्नोंकी ओर दृष्टिपाततक न करके कौरवोंके निवासस्थान हस्तिनापुरकी ओर बढ़ते चले गये
tāḥ sabhāḥ keśavaḥ sarvā ratnāni vividhāni ca | asamīkṣyaiva dāśārha upayāt kurusaṃjñam tat ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Keśava (Kṛṣṇa), the Dāśārha, without so much as casting a glance at those many halls of rest and the various precious gems, went onward toward the place known as the Kuru residence—Hastināpura. The tale thus marks his disciplined indifference to luxury and display, for his mind remained fixed upon the grave duty of his mission among the Kurus.
