Krṣṇa,  the Supreme Personality of Godhead
of fruitive actions and the resultant reactions take place. My dear sister, you know that we were very much harrassed by King Kaṁsa, and by his persecutions we were scattered here and there. We were always full of anxieties. Only in the last few days have we returned to our own places, by the grace of God.”
After this conversation, Vasudeva and Ugrasena received the kings who came to see them, and they sufficiently welcomed them all. Seeing Lord Krṣṇa present on the spot, all the visitors felt transcendental pleasure and became very peaceful. Some of the prominent visitors were as follows: Bhīṣmadeva, Droṇācārya, Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Duryodhana, and Gāndhārī along with her sons; King Yudhiṣṭhira along with his wife, and the Pāṇḍavas along with Kuntī; Sṛñjaya, Vidura, Krpācārya, Kuntibhoja, Virāṭa, King Nagnajit, Purujit, Drupada, Śalya, Dhṛṣṭaketu, the King of Kāśī, Damaghoṣa, Viśālākṣa, the King of Mithilā, the King of Madras (formerly known as Madra), the King of Kekaya, Yudhāmanyu, Suśarmā, Bāhlīka along with his sons, and many other rulers who were subordinate to King Yudhiṣṭhira.

All glories unto you! All glories unto you! The specific condition of your perfection is that you are always seeing Lord Krṣṇa, who is sought after by many mystic  yogīs  undergoing severe austerities and penances for great numbers of years. All of you are in direct touch with Lord Krṣṇa at every moment.
“All the Vedic hymns are glorifying the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krṣṇa. The Ganges water is considered sanctified because of its being the water used to wash the lotus feet of Lord Krṣṇa. The Vedic literatures are nothing but the injunctions of Lord Krṣṇa. The purpose of the study of all the  Vedas  is to know Krṣṇa; therefore, the words of Krṣṇa and the message of His pastimes are always purifying. By the influence of time and circumstances, all the opulences of this world had become almost completely wiped out, but since Krṣṇa has appeared on this planet, all auspicious features have again appeared due to the touch of His lotus feet. Because of His presence, all our ambitions and desires are gradually being fulfilled. Your majesty, King of the Bhojas, you are related with the Yadu
