Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: Then the attendants appointed for his purification approached and attended upon him. When he had completed the rites of cleansing, Madhusūdana (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) addressed him again—seeking to restrain anger and restore a humane, dharmic disposition in the grief-stricken king.
