Omens and Reception During Keśava’s Departure
तेषु राजसु सर्वेषु निवृत्तेषु जनार्दन: । तूर्णमभ्यगमद्धृष्ट: शैब्यसुग्रीववाहन:
teṣu rājasu sarveṣu nivṛtteṣu janārdanaḥ | tūrṇam abhyagamaddhṛṣṭaḥ śaibya-sugrīva-vāhanaḥ ||
ആ രാജാക്കന്മാർ എല്ലാവരും മടങ്ങിപ്പോയ ശേഷം, ശൈബ്യനും സുഗ്രീവനും ചേർത്ത രഥത്തിൽ ഇരുന്ന ജനാർദനൻ ശ്രീകൃഷ്ണൻ ഹർഷത്തോടെ ധൈര്യമായി അതിവേഗം മുന്നോട്ട് നീങ്ങി.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights decisive leadership after deliberation: once others withdraw, Kṛṣṇa moves forward swiftly and fearlessly, suggesting that dharma requires timely action, not hesitation, especially when guiding events toward a just resolution.
After the assembled kings have left, Kṛṣṇa (Janārdana) sets out rapidly in his chariot drawn by the horses Śaibya and Sugrīva, indicating a transition from the gathering’s conclusion to the next urgent phase of the mission.
