चित्रकौतूहले तस्मिन् वर्तमाने महाद्धुते । वासुदेवश्व पार्थश्ष सहितौ परिजग्मतु:,उस अत्यन्त अद्भुत विचित्र कौतूहलपूर्ण उत्सवमें भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुन एक साथ घूम रहे थे
citrakautūhale tasmin vartamāne mahādbhute | vāsudevaś ca pārthaś ca sahitau parijagmatuḥ ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Habang nagaganap ang kahanga-hangang pagdiriwang—punô ng mga pambihirang hiwaga at mga tanawing nakapupukaw ng pag-uusisa—magkasabay na naglibot sina Vāsudeva (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) at Pārtha (Arjuna), magkatabing nagmamasid.
