कुरुसभायां केशवागमन-सत्कारविधानम् / Preparations to Honor Keśava at the Kuru Court
सुमृष्टं भोजयित्वा च ब्राह्मणांस्तत्र केशव: । भुक्त्वा च सह तै: सर्वैरवसत् तां क्षपां सुखम्
sumṛṣṭaṃ bhojayitvā ca brāhmaṇāṃs tatra keśavaḥ | bhuktvā ca saha taiḥ sarvair avasat tāṃ kṣapāṃ sukham |
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: Keśava, tras servir primero a los brāhmaṇas allí con alimentos bien preparados y deliciosos, comió luego junto con todos ellos y pasó aquella noche en el lugar con sosiego. La escena subraya un ideal dhármico de hospitalidad y reverencia hacia los brāhmaṇas: servir antes que a uno mismo y compartir en comunidad, no gozar en soledad.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic hospitality: honoring guests—especially learned brāhmaṇas—by serving them well before attending to oneself, and sharing food and shelter in a spirit of respect and community.
Keśava (Kṛṣṇa) arranges and serves excellent food to the brāhmaṇas present, then eats together with them, and remains there for the night comfortably, as narrated by Vaiśampāyana.
