Translation
O sage amongst the brāhmaṇas, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead, also followed, seated on a chariot with Arjuna. Thus King Yudhiṣṭhira appeared very aristocratic, like Kuvera surrounded by his companions [the Guhyakas].
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
O Śaunaka! The Lord along with Arjuna also followed behind in his chariot. King Yudhiṣṭhira shone like the god of wealth Kuvera accompanied by the Guhyakas, guardians of his treasures.
Purport
Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa wanted the Pāṇḍavas to be present before Bhīṣmadeva in the most aristocratic order so that he might be pleased to see them happy at the time of his death. Kuvera is the richest of all the demigods, and herein King Yudhiṣṭhira appeared like him (Kuvera), for the procession along with Śrī Kṛṣṇa was quite appropriate to the royalty of King Yudhiṣṭhira.
Commentary (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Kṛṣṇa also followed behind Yudhiṣṭhira.
