Guests

“After Garga Muni had appointed an auspicious day for the sacrifice, King Ugrasena, with the help of Sri Krishna, began preparations for the yagya. All great sages and brahmanas were invited to this grand sacrifice at Dvaraka. Vedavyasa, Sukadeva Gosvami, Parasara arrived there, Maitreya, Paila, Sumanta, Durvasa, Vashampayana, Jaimini, Parasurama, Dattatreya, Asita, Angira, Vamadeva, Atri, Vasishtha, Kanva, Viswamitra, Bharadwaja, Gautama, Kapila, Sanaka, Patanjali, Dronacharya, Kripacharya and many other sages with their disciples. Lord Brahma, Siva, Indra and other powerful demigods also arrived there. Maharaja Bali, along with many daityas and danavas, also came to witness the rajasuya yajna of King Ugrasena. And also Jambavan came along with his companions, Garuda and Vasuki, along with the nagas. There also appeared the personifications of the seven oceans. Giriraj Govardhan, Yasoda and Sri Radha arrived from Vrindavana along with millions of gopis. Dhrtarastra, Duryodhana, Bhisma, Karna and the five Pandavas came there. Who can count all those who took part in the rajasui sacrifice of King Ugrasena? The Rajasuya sacrifice was performed on Mount Raivata. Gargacharya was the head priest. The Lord of sacrifice, Sri Krishna, was present with His sons. Streams of ghee, as thick as the trunk of an elephant, poured into the fire at this amazing yagya. Because of this, Agni, the god of fire, suffered from indigestion. All the demigods also suffered from indigestion by consuming enormous amounts of soma-rasa. At the end of the sacrifice, King Ugrasena took a ceremonial bath with his queen Ruchimati. Then countless riches were distributed in the form of alms, and the brahmanas left completely satisfied. The demigods received their share of the sacrificial offerings and returned to their heavenly abodes in a joyful mood. Demons, nagas and animals also left completely satisfied. In this way everything was fulfilled by the grace of Purna Purusha, Lord Sri Krishna, who appeared in the Yadu dynasty, to free the Earth from an immense burden.
