Thereafter Duryodhana, and also Śakuni Saubala, followed Kṛṣṇa—the afflicter of adversaries—by a second chariot.

Their chariots—adorned with golden fittings and yoked to superb horses—resounded as they moved, variegated and striking to behold.

With the dust settled and the roadway prepared, the wise Kṛṣṇa—radiant with splendor—entered at the proper time the great highway, the route long trodden by royal sages (rājārṣis).

Then, as Dāśārha (Kṛṣṇa) set out, single-headed drums were sounded; conches (śaṅkha) were blown there, and other instruments as well.
