When Lord Krishna was residing at Dwaraka protecting the world, the mighty warrior Arjuna arrived there happily to meet the lotus-eyed lord.
My dear friend Vijaya, wise, virtuous
and resplendent, how are you?
Even the moon that charms the three worlds salutes your
lotus-like face, and seeing that makes it a happy day for me
The brave, revered, polite and generous Yudhishtira
and the valiant Bheema I hope are fine;
O Kuru prince, I trust your younger brothers
and your chaste wife too are doing well
