Transliteration
tato mitreṣu sarveṣu vāsudevaṃ ca bhārata | preṣayāmāsa kaunteyo virāṭaś ca mahīpatiḥ janamejaya ||
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: Then, O Bhārata, the son of Kuntī (Yudhiṣṭhira) and King Virāṭa, O Janamejaya, sent invitations to all their friends and also to Vāsudeva. In the tale, this marks the turning from concealment and peril to open alliance-building, upholding dharma by honouring kin, allies, and the divine before decisive political action.
