केशवो<पि मुदा युक्त: प्रविवेश पुरोत्तमम् । पूज्यमानो यदुश्रेष्ठैरुग्रसेनमुखैस्तथा,इधर भगवान् केशव भी उग्रसेन आदि श्रेष्ठ यादवोंसे सम्मानित हो प्रसन्नतापूर्वक द्वारकापुरीके भीतर गये
keśavo ’pi mudā yuktaḥ praviveśa purottamam | pūjyamāno yaduśreṣṭhair ugrasenamukhais tathā ||
Disse Vaiśampāyana: Keśava também, tomado de alegria, entrou na cidade mais excelsa. Era honrado pelos melhores dos Yadus — à frente Ugrasena — e assim recebia o respeito devido ao adentrar. A cena ressalta a reverência justa a um líder digno e a harmonia de uma comunidade bem ordenada.
