THE MAHABHARATA
Duryodhana, however, reached Krishna
first and sat on an excellent seat at his head.
Arjuna then stood with folded hands
and body bent in reverence at Krishna's feet.
A
प्रतिबुद्धस्त्र वार्ष्णेयो ददर्शाग्रे किरीटिनम् ।
सिंहासनगतं पश्चाद् दृष्टवान् प्रतिपूज्य तौ ।
तदागमनजं हेतुं पप्रच्छ मधुसूदनः ॥
Waking up, Krishna saw Arjuna first;
and he saw afterwards Duryodhana who
was seated on the throne. Receiving the
two, Krishna asked the cause of their
arrival.
ततो दुर्योधनः कृष्णमुवाच प्रहसन्निव ।
विग्रहेऽस्मिन्भवान्साह्यं मम दातुमिहार्हति ॥
समं हि भवतस्सख्यं मम चैवार्जुनेऽपि च ।
अहं चाभिगतः पूर्वं त्वामद्य मधुसूदन । '

As if laughing, Duryodhana told Krishna
then: "You must give me assistance in
this war; equal is your friendship with
me and with Arjuna; and Krishna, I
sought you first now."
