Āśvamedha-dīkṣā-nirdeśaḥ — Scheduling the Initiation and Assigning Protection for the Horse
पूजा पूजयामासु: कृष्णं देवकिनन्दनम् । परम बुद्धिमान् भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण वह अलौकिक कर्म सुनकर पाण्डवोंने उन पूजनीय देवकीनन्दन श्रीकृष्णका पूजन किया अर्थात् उनकी भूरि-भूरि प्रशंसा की || ९३ || ततः कतिपयाहस्य व्यास: सत्यवतीसुत:
pūjāṃ pūjayāmāsuḥ kṛṣṇaṃ devakīnandanam | parama-buddhimān bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇaḥ || tataḥ katipayāhasya vyāsaḥ satyavatīsutaḥ hastināpuraṃ samāgamat | kurukulatilakāḥ pāṇḍavāḥ taṃ yathocitaṃ pūjayāmāsuḥ ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Pinarangalan ng mga Pāṇḍava si Kṛṣṇa, anak ni Devakī—pinuri at sinamba ang lubhang marunong at banal na si Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Pagkaraan ng ilang araw, dumating sa Hastināpura si Vyāsa, anak ni Satyavatī; at ang mga Pāṇḍava, karangalan ng angkan ng Kuru, ay tumanggap at sumamba sa kanya ayon sa nararapat na mga ritwal.

Educational Q&A
The passage teaches dharmic gratitude and humility: extraordinary help and wisdom (from Kṛṣṇa) should be met with reverent acknowledgment, and spiritual authority (Vyāsa) should be received with proper honor, reinforcing the ethical duty of honoring benefactors and sages.
After hearing of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s remarkable deeds, the Pāṇḍavas worship and praise him. Soon afterward, the sage Vyāsa comes to Hastināpura, and the Pāṇḍavas welcome and honor him according to proper custom.
