Oh, mejor de los reyes, había muchos otros monarcas sometidos a Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira. Todos quedaron asombrados al ver ante sí la forma trascendental de Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Śauri, morada de toda opulencia y belleza, de pie junto a Sus consortes.
According to Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī, all these kings were now followers of Yudhiṣṭhira because he had subjugated each of them to earn the privilege of performing the Rājasūya sacrifice. The Vedic injunctions state that a kṣatriya who wants to execute the Rājasūya for elevation to heaven must first send out a “victory horse” to roam freely; any other king whose territory this horse enters must either voluntarily submit or face the kṣatriya or his representatives in battle.
