TRANSLATION
O sage amongst the brahmanas, Lord Sri Krsna the Personality of
Godhead also followed, seated on a chariot with Arjuna. Thus King
Yudhisthira appeared very aristocratic, like Kuvera surrounded by his
companions [the Guhyakas].
PURPORT
Lord Sri Krsna wanted the Pandavas to be present before Bhismadeva
in the most aristocratic order so that he might be pleased to see them
happy at the time of his death. Kuvera is the richest of all the demigods,
and herein King Yudhisthira appeared like him (Kuvera), for the procession
along with Sri Krsna was quite appropriate to the royalty of King
Yudhisthira.
