Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Reception Plan for Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa): Gifts, Procession, and Protocol
तस्मिन् हि यात्रा लोकस्य भूतानामीश्वरो हि सः | तस्मिन् धृतिश्च वीर्य च प्रज्ञा चौजश्न माधवे,“सम्पूर्ण लोकोंका जीवन उन्हींपर निर्भर है, क्योंकि वे सम्पूर्ण भूतोंके अधीश्वर हैं। उन माधवमें धैर्य, पराक्रम, बुद्धि और तेज सब कुछ है
tasmin hi yātrā lokasya bhūtānām īśvaro hi saḥ | tasmin dhṛtiś ca vīryaṃ ca prajñā caujaś ca mādhave |
Sebab pada dirinya bergantung gerak dan kelangsungan dunia; sungguh, dialah penguasa segala makhluk. Dalam Mādhava bersemayam keteguhan, keberanian, kebijaksanaan yang tajam, dan daya yang bercahaya.

The verse presents Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa) as the sustaining lord of all beings and the foundation of worldly stability, emphasizing that ideal governance and moral order rest on virtues such as steadfastness (dhṛti), valor (vīrya), wisdom (prajñā), and radiant power (ojas).
Vaiśampāyana is describing Mādhava’s supreme status and qualities within the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war context, where Kṛṣṇa’s role as guide and upholder of order is being highlighted as decisive for the fate of the world and the coming conflict.
