Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda


TRANSLATION

After Arjuna had embraced Him once more and Nakula and Sahadeva had offered Him their obeisances, Lord Kṛṣṇa bowed down to the brāhmaṇas and elders present, thus properly honoring the respectable members of the Kuru, Sṛñjaya and Kaikaya clans.


PURPORT

Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī mentions that since Arjuna was considered Lord Kṛṣṇa's social equal, when Arjuna tried to bow down to Him, Lord Kṛṣṇa held Arjuna by his arms so that he could only embrace Him. The twins, however, being junior cousins, bowed down and grasped Lord Kṛṣṇa's feet.
