TRANSLATION
Seeing him [Bhīshma] lying on the ground, like a demigod fallen from the sky, the Pāndava King Yudhishthira, along with his younger brothers and Lord Krishna, bowed down before him.
PURPORT
Lord Krishna was also a younger cousin of Mahārāja Yudhishthira as well as the intimate friend of Arjuna. But all the family members of the Pāndavas knew Lord Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord, although conscious of His supreme position, always behaved in a humanly custom, and so He also bowed down before the dying Bhīshmadeva as if He were one of the younger brothers of King Yudhishthira.
