कुरुसभायां केशवागमन-सत्कारविधानम् / Preparations to Honor Keśava at the Kuru Court
यत्र यत्र च वार्ष्णेयो वर्तते पथि भारत । तत्र तत्र सुखो वायु: सर्व चासीत् प्रदक्षिणम्,भारत! वृष्णिनन्दन श्रीकृष्ण मार्गमें जहाँ-जहाँ रहते थे, वहाँ-वहाँ सुखदायिनी वायु चलती थी और सभी शुभ शकुन उनके दाहिने भागमें प्रकट होते थे
yatra yatra ca vārṣṇeyo vartate pathi bhārata | tatra tatra sukho vāyuḥ sarvaṃ cāsīt pradakṣiṇam ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“噢，婆罗多啊，瓦尔什涅耶（圣克里希那）、弗利什尼族之欢悦者，无论行至何处，路旁皆有和柔怡人的清风吹拂；并且在每一处，一切吉祥之兆都显现在他的右侧——这表明他的行旅与所图皆得善力护持，与达摩相契。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the traditional Mahābhārata idea that alignment with dharma manifests as auspicious signs: nature itself (a pleasant breeze) and omens (right-side, pradakṣiṇa) indicate moral and providential support for Kṛṣṇa’s mission.
As Kṛṣṇa travels on the road during the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war negotiations, the narrator notes that wherever he goes, favorable winds and rightward auspicious omens appear—foreshadowing the significance and righteousness associated with his role in the unfolding events.
