अथापश्यन्महाबाहुरृषीनध्वनि केशवः । ब्राह्म्या श्रिया दीप्यमानान्स्थितानुभयतः पथि ॥

Keshava of long arms saw on the road, standing on either side, several Rishis effulgent with the Brahmic luster; and Janardana, too, quickly alighting from his chariot paid them due respects.
सोऽवतीर्य रथात्तूर्णमभिवाद्य जनार्दनः । यथावत्तानृषीन्सर्वानभ्यभाषत पूजयन् ॥

Then Janardana quickly step down from his chariot, and said all those Rishis with adoration and respect.
कच्चिल्लोकेषु कुशलं कच्चिद्धर्मः स्वनुष्ठितः । ब्राह्मणानां त्रयो वर्णाः कच्चित्तिष्ठन्ति शासने ॥

As he worshipped them, he addressed to each in suitable terms, inquiring of them if all went on well in the worlds and if piety was well established there. And also if the three orders acted in obedience to the Brahmanas.
तेभ्यः प्रयुज्य तां पूजां प्रोवाच मधुसूदनः । भगवन्तः क्व संसिद्धाः का वीथी भवतामिह ॥
English Translation
Having paid them due honours, the slayer of Madhu said to them. What is the object of you prosperous ones? Where are you going? What are you, prosperous beings, going to do? What shall I do for you? With what object have you, prosperous ones, come down to the face of the earth?
किं वा भगवतां कार्यमहं किं करवाणि वः । केनार्थेनोपसंप्राप्ता भगवन्तो महीतलम् ॥

तमब्रवीज्जामदग्न्य उपेत्य मधुसूदनम् । परिष्वज्य च गोविन्दं पुरा सुचरिते सखा ॥
English Translation
The son of Jamadagni said coming near that slayer of Madhu the friend of the lord of the gods and the Asuras had embraced Govinda and said-
देवर्षयः पुण्यकृतो ब्राह्मणाश्च बहुश्रुताः । राजर्षयश्च दाशार्ह मानयन्तस्तपस्विनः ॥
देवासुरस्य द्रष्टारः पुराणस्य महाद्युते । समेतं पार्थिवं क्षत्रं दिदृक्षन्तश्च सर्वतः ॥
सभासदश्च राजानस्त्वां च सत्यं जनार्दन । एतन्महत्प्रेक्षणीयं द्रष्टुं गच्छाम केशव ॥
धर्मार्थसहिता वाचः श्रोतुमिच्छाम माधव । त्वयोच्यमानाः कुरुषु राजमध्ये परंतप ॥
भीष्मद्रोणादयश्चैव विदुरश्च महामतिः । त्वं च यादवशार्दूल सभायां वै समेष्यथ ॥
तव वाक्यानि दिव्यानि तत्र तेषां च माधव । श्रोतुमिच्छाम गोविन्द सत्यानि च शुभानि च ॥
English Translation
O Govinda, O Madhava, we desire to hear your divine, truth and of benefit words assembled together in the Council Chamber.
आपृष्टोऽसि महाबाहो पुनर्द्रक्ष्यामहे वयम् । याह्यविघ्नेन वै वीर द्रक्ष्यामस्त्वां सभागतम् ॥
English Translation
You now know our purpose, O you of long arms; and you will again see us. O hero, we will see you come to the Council safely and sealed on a divine seat, endued with strength and prowess.
