TRANSLATION

Paundraka's friend, the King of Kasi, followed behind, O King, leading the rear guard with three akshauhini divisions. Lord Krishna saw that Paundraka was carrying the Lord's own insignia, such as the conchshell, disc, sword and club, and also an imitation Sarnga bow and Srivatsa mark. He wore a mock Kaustubha gem, was decorated with a garland of forest flowers and was dressed in upper and lower garments of fine yellow silk. His banner bore the image of Garuda, and he wore a valuable crown and gleaming, shark-shaped earrings.

PURPORT

Srila Prabhupada comments in Krishna: "When the two kings came before Lord Krishna to oppose Him, Krishna saw Paundraka face to face for the first time."
