आनर्चुब्रद्विणा: सर्वे कृष्णश्च॒ सह पाण्डवै: । तमर्चितं सुविश्वस्तमासीनमृषिसत्तमम् | ब्राह्मणानां मतेनाह पाण्डवानां च केशव:
ānarcur bradviṇāḥ sarve kṛṣṇaś ca saha pāṇḍavaiḥ | tam arcitaṃ suviśvastam āsīnam ṛṣisattamam || brāhmaṇānāṃ matenāha pāṇḍavānāṃ ca keśavaḥ |
ಆಗ ಎಲ್ಲ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣರೂ, ಪಾಂಡವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಶ್ರೀಕೃಷ್ಣನೂ ಆ ಋಷಿಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನನ್ನು ಪೂಜಿಸಿದರು. ಪೂಜಿತನಾಗಿ, ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸದಿಂದ ಆಸನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತಿದ್ದ ಆ ಮುನಿಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನ ಮುಂದೆ, ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣರು ಮತ್ತು ಪಾಂಡವರ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯದಂತೆ ಕೇಶವನು ಮಾತಾಡಿದನು।

Educational Q&A
Right counsel is grounded in dharma: first honor the worthy (especially sages), establish trust, and then speak or decide in alignment with the considered view of the learned (Brāhmaṇas) and the responsible stakeholders (the Pāṇḍavas).
Kṛṣṇa and the Pāṇḍavas, along with others present, formally honor a foremost sage. After the sage is respectfully received and seated in a trusting atmosphere, Kṛṣṇa begins to speak, presenting a view consistent with both the Brāhmaṇas’ judgment and the Pāṇḍavas’ position.
