Dhritarashtra said: -
1. O Kshatriya (Vidura), Janardana has set out from Upaplavya. He is now staying at Vrikasthala; and will come here in the morning.
2. Janardana is the ruler of the Ahukas, the foremost of the scions of the Satwata race, is large-minded, of great prowess, and of great energy.
3. Madhava, too, is the lord and protector of the rising and prosperous kingdom of the Vrishnis; and that divine being is the great grandfather of the three worlds.
4. The Vrishnis and the Andhakas of holiest minds honour his wisdom, as the Adityas, the Vasus and the Rudras do the intelligence of Brihaspati.
5. That large-souled scion of the Dasharha race shall I worship in your immediate presence. O you conversant with Virtue, listen to me speaking of that worship.
6. I shall present to him sixteen golden chariots, each drawn by excellent horses of the same colour bred of the Vahli species and all well-equipped.
7. O son of Kuru, I shall also present him eight elephants capable of working havoc among the enemy, whose juice shall be ever flowing from their temples and whose tusks shall be equal to ploughs, each with eight human attendants.
8. A hundred of maid servants beautiful and without issue, and of beauty of gold, shall I give to him; and the same number of man-servants.
9. Blankets pleasant to touch and procured from hilly tracts shall I give to him eighteen thousand in number.
10. Thousands of deer skins produced in the country of China shall I give to him, and whatever else may be fitting gifts to Keshava.
11. I shall give him this pure and very bright gem that shines day and night; for Keshava is the proper recipient of these.
12. This chariot drawn by excellent horses that traverses fourteen Yojanas in a single day -that too shall I give him.
13. I shall present to him eight times the eatables that all his attendants and animals in the army may consume.
14. All my sons and grandsons with the exception of Duryodhana will go forward, mounted on chariots and with ornaments on to receive the scion of the Dasharha race.
15. Blessed damsels, the foremost among dancing girls, by thousands with ornaments on will go out on foot to receive Keshava of large parts.
16. The beautiful girls, that will go out from this town to see Janardana, will go without their veils drawn.
17. Let my subjects in this town, including women, men, and children, behold the large-souled slayer of Madhu like the rising sun.
18. Let all the points of the earth be filled with large flags and banners, and let the roads through which he will pass be drenched with water so as to remove the dust.
19. The house of Dushasana is better than that of Duryodhana. Let that be now furnished and well cleansed quickly.
20. This one (the abode of Dushasana) is graced with many palaces beautiful to look at; and it is comfortable, enchanting and rich during every season of the year.
21. All my wealth and that of Duryodhana are in this house. Whatever is fitting for the scion of the Vrishni race should be given to him without doubt.
Titus ends the eighty sixth chapter, the speech of Dhritarashtra, in the Bhagavat-Yana of the Udyoga Parva.
