SB 10.58.6
tathaiva satyakih parthaih
 pujitas cabhivanditah
nisasadasane ’nye ca
 pujitah paryupasata

Translation:
Satyaki also accepted a seat of honor after receiving worship and welcome from the Pandavas, and the Lord’s other companions, being duly honored, sat down in various places.



SB 10.58.7
prtham samagatya krtabhivadanas
 tayati-hardardra-drsabhirambhitah
aprstavams tam kusalam saha-snusam
 pitr-svasaram pariprsta-bandhavah

Translation:
The Lord then went to see His aunt, Queen Kunti. He bowed down to her and she embraced Him, her eyes moist with great affection. Lord Krsna inquired from her and her daughter-in-law, Draupadi, about their welfare, and they in turn questioned Him at length about His relatives [in Dvaraka].

Purport:
Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura envisions that as Lord Krsna was sitting on His seat, He saw His aunt Kunti approaching in great eagerness to see Him. He then rose at once, quickly went up to her and offered His obeisances. Her eyes moistened with extreme love, she embraced Him and smelled His head.
