sabhayam maya-klptayam
kvapi dharma-suto ’dhirat
vrto ’nugair bandhubhis ca
krsnenapi sva-caksusa
asinah kañcane saksad
asane maghavan iva
paramesthya-sriya justah
stuyamanas ca vandibhih
Translation:
It so happened that Emperor Yudhisthira, the son of Dharma, was sitting just like Indra on a golden throne in the assembly hall built by Maya Danava. Present with him were his attendants and family members, and also Lord Krsna, his special eye. Displaying the opulences of Brahma himself, King Yudhisthira was being praised by the court poets.
Purport:
Srila Sridhara Svami explains that Lord Krsna is described here as Yudhisthira’s special eye since He advised the King on what was beneficial and what was not.
SB 10.75.36
tatra duryodhano mani
parito bhratrbhir nrpa
kirita-mali nyavisad
asi-hastah ksipan rusa
Translation:
Proud Duryodhana, holding a sword in his hand and wearing a crown and necklace, angrily went into the palace in the company of his brothers, O King, insulting the doorkeepers as he entered.
Purport:
Srila Prabhupada writes that Duryodhana “was always in an envious and angry mood, and therefore, on a slight provocation, he spoke sharply with the doorkeepers and became angry.”
