Nārada’s Account of the Kaliṅga Svayaṃvara: Duryodhana’s Seizure and Karṇa’s Escort
ततः: समुपविष्टेषु तेषु राजसु भारत । विवेश रछ्ढं सा कन्या धात्रीवर्षवरान्विता,भारत! जब सब राजा स्वयंवर-सभामें बैठ गये, तब उस राजकन्याने धाय और खोजोंके साथ रंगभूमिमें प्रवेश किया
tataḥ samupaviṣṭeṣu teṣu rājasu bhārata | viveśa raṅgaṁ sā kanyā dhātrī-varṣa-varānvitā ||
そののち、バーラタよ、諸王がスヴァヤンヴァラの会座に着くと、王女は乳母に付き添われ、選ばれた侍女たちを従えて競技の場へと入って来た。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic decorum in public rites: even personal choice (as in a svayaṃvara) is framed by orderly procedure, respectful assembly, and proper attendants—signaling that individual decisions should harmonize with social responsibility and established norms.
After the assembled kings have taken their seats in the ceremonial hall/arena, the princess makes her formal entrance, accompanied by her nurse and select attendants, marking the beginning of the public proceedings of the choice ceremony.
