Verse 38

³²When the night had passed, Kaurava, and the sun had come up out of the waters, Kamsa had a great festival of wrestling made ready. ³³Men made the arena ready with honour, and struck the drums and the kettledrums, and the platforms were decked with garlands, with banners and cloth and archways. ³⁴The townspeople and the country people came into them as they pleased, with brahmins and kshatriyas at their head, and seats were made for the kings. ³⁵Kamsa, ringed about by his ministers, sat down on the royal platform among the rulers of the provinces, with a heart being eaten away. ³⁶While the drums sounded, with the wrestlers' beat carried over them, the wrestlers came in, well decked and swollen with themselves, and their trainers with them.

³⁷Canura, Mustika, Kuta, Sala and Tosala came to the place of attendance, made glad by the fine music. ³⁸Nanda the cowherd and the other cowherds, called in by the king of the Bhojas, presented their gifts and took their places on one platform.
