नगरादपि याः काश्चिद्गमिष्यन्ति जनार्दनम् । द्रष्टुं कन्याश्च कल्याण्यस्ताश्च यास्यन्त्यनावृताः॥५-८४-१६॥

From the city as well, some will go to see Janārdana; and auspicious maidens too will go to behold him, openly and without concealment.

english translation

सस्त्रीपुरुषबालं हि नगरं मधुसूदनम् । उदीक्षते महात्मानं भानुमन्तमिव प्रजाः॥५-८४-१७॥

Indeed, the whole city—women, men, and children—gazes upon Madhusūdana, the great-souled one, as people gaze upon the radiant sun.

english translation

महाध्वजपताकाश्च क्रियन्तां सर्वतोदिशम् । जलावसिक्तो विरजाः पन्थास्तस्येति चान्वशात्॥५-८४-१८॥

Let great banners and flags be raised in every direction; and let the road for him be sprinkled with water and kept free of dust—so he commanded.

english translation

दुःशासनस्य च गृहं दुर्योधनगृहाद्वरम् । तदस्य क्रियतां क्षिप्रं सुसंमृष्टमलंकृतम्॥५-८४-१९॥

And let Duḥśāsana’s residence—finer than Duryodhana’s own—be prepared for him at once, thoroughly cleansed and adorned.

english translation

एतद्धि रुचिराकारैः प्रासादैरुपशोभितम् । शिवं च रमणीयं च सर्वर्तु सुमहाधनम्॥५-८४-२०॥

For it is adorned with palaces of pleasing design; it is auspicious and delightful, prosperous in every season, and exceedingly wealthy.
