नैकरत्नविचित्रं तु काञ्चनं महदासनम् । विविधास्तरणास्तीर्णं यत्रासातामरिंदमौ॥५-५८-६॥

There was a large golden seat, inlaid with many kinds of gems, spread with various coverings—upon which the two subduers of foes were seated.

अर्जुनोत्सङ्गगौ पादौ केशवस्योपलक्षये । अर्जुनस्य च कृष्णायां सत्यायां च महात्मनः॥५-५८-७॥

I observed Keśava’s feet resting upon Arjuna’s lap; and likewise I observed Arjuna’s feet upon Kṛṣṇā and upon Satyā—of the great-souled one.

काञ्चनं पादपीठं तु पार्थो मे प्रादिशत्तदा । तदहं पाणिना स्पृष्ट्वा ततो भूमावुपाविशम्॥५-५८-८॥

Then Pārtha indicated to me a golden footstool; I touched it with my hand, and thereafter sat down upon the ground.

ऊर्ध्वरेखतलौ पादौ पार्थस्य शुभलक्षणौ । पादपीठादपहृतौ तत्रापश्यमहं शुभौ॥५-५८-९॥

There I saw Pārtha’s auspicious, well-marked feet, with soles bearing upward lines, drawn back from the footstool.

श्यामौ बृहन्तौ तरुणौ शालस्कन्धाविवोद्गतौ । एकासनगतौ दृष्ट्वा भयं मां महदाविशत्॥५-५८-१०॥

Seeing the two dark-complexioned, large-framed young men—rising like the trunks of śāla trees—seated upon a single seat, a great apprehension came over me.
