THE MAHABHARATA
'समक्षं वासुदेवस्य कुरूणां च समक्षतः ।
अभिषेकस्त्वया प्राप्तो दुष्प्रापो ह्यकृतात्मभिः ॥
' (Yudhisthira !) in the presence of Krishna
and the Kurus, you have had the coronation
that can hardly be obtained by those who
have not conquered themselves.
6
गच्छ त्वं खाण्डवप्रस्थं पुरं राष्ट्रं च वर्धय ॥
Go to Khandavaprastha and bring
the city and the country to prosperity."
प्रतिगृह्य तु तद्वाक्यं तस्मै सर्वे प्रणम्य च ।
प्रतस्थिरे ततो घोषसंयुक्तैस्स्यन्दनैर्वरैः ॥
Accepting those words and bowing to
Dhritarashtra, all the Pandavas started then
in excellent, rumbling chariots.
जगन्नाथश्चिन्तयामास वासवम् ।
महेन्द्रशासनाद्गत्वा विश्वकर्मा तु केशवम् ।
प्रणम्य प्रणिपाताई कि करोमीत्यभाषत ॥
Vasudeva, the lord of the universe,
thought of Indra. Going to Kesava at the
bidding of Indra, and bowing to Him who
is worthy of salutation, Visvakarman said :
" What shall I do ?"
