Omens and Reception During Keśava’s Departure
देवब्रह्मर्षयश्चैव कृष्णं यदुसुखावहम् । प्रदक्षिणमवर्तन्त सहिता वासवानुजम्
devabrahmarṣayaś caiva kṛṣṇaṃ yadu-sukhāvaham | pradakṣiṇam avartanta sahitā vāsavānujam ||
വൈശംപായനൻ പറഞ്ഞു— ദേവർഷികളും ബ്രഹ്മർഷികളും ഒരുമിച്ച് ചേർന്ന്, യദുകുലത്തിന് സുഖം പകരുന്ന വാസവാനുജനായ ശ്രീകൃഷ്ണനെ വലതുവശം പാലിച്ച് പ്രദക്ഷിണം ചെയ്തു।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic honor: even the highest seers express reverence through pradakṣiṇā, implying that true spiritual authority is recognized by humility, ritual respect, and acknowledgment of virtue and divine stature.
A gathering of exalted ṛṣis approaches Kṛṣṇa and performs pradakṣiṇā (circumambulation) around him as a formal act of veneration, marking him as a source of welfare for the Yadu lineage and as one worthy of the highest respect.
